    1. Hi

      There are differences between St Helene ribbon and Croix de Guerre French War Cross ribbon:

      St Helene: red strip = 1,8 mm

      French War Cros : red strip = 1,5 mm

      red strip is crimson / red brick on St Helene and red-red on the War Cross

      See below 3 sizes of this commemorative medal:

    2. Hi

      I just get this ty?cal German bar. Only the Austrian award is missing.

      Which award was on this bar? As you can see the small hook is placed close to the top of the bar: 5cm betwwen this hook and the bottom of the German "Hindenbourg" Cross. So, it was for a Signum Laudis? I don't think so. A Verdienst Kreuz? Possible, but I am not sure.

      What do you think about?

    3. Hi Ed

      When I have seen this picture in a newspaper, I thought it was a good opportunit? to start collecting Mongolian awards, because this person is very symbolic.

      So I am trying to "reconstruct" his medals....it's a long way, but funny !

      PS: I got the ORBC shown few posts ago..

    4. If you really have to have one you could also go for this one from Liverpoolmedals.....

      This is rather an interesting coincidence....

      They have #3923 for sale at 145 pounds or $285 US.

      So right now that's 100 US less than the Ebay one. They are slow to remove sold items though so you might be out of luck...

      Anyway good luck with Mongolian orders they are very addictive!!!

      Cheers

      Hi FJCP and Ed

      Let's see... I have made some other purchases with this delaer so, all in all, it could be a normal price.

      This type of ORBC is commonly available for 280 - 320e here in France (if available....)

      Rude, I know

      Anyway, thank you for the links. I hadn't noticed the ORBC at Liverpool shop (which is known to be expensive, generally speaking)

      Here my Mongolian search list:

      N19 : 50 Years of the Great Construction (1926-76)
