And here is another one next type, number 2242 with box.

And of course the backside !

Hallo all! Here is some Mongolian stuff from my collection, I dont remember if I show them here earlier. But here they are anyway! First OPS 12.2 serial nr 867 in box Christer

Hi Bob, I will post the documents I have when I get home later today! Always a pleasure to help with the growing database Christer

Hi all! I am one of the collectors who hunted for Mongolian Items, when the "flood" hit us a couple of years ago! Ohh thoose where the days . Suddenly everything was there to buy, just the wallet kept me away from buying.And then ? There was nothing, almost as quick as it started is stopped.I have to admit that I started collect Bulgarian instead But I kept all my Mongolian of course and waited for something to happen. And now it seems like the time has come? Is there a book about numbered awards? In Mongolian What a christmas gift! Christer

Here is the Backs! The long Imperial one is 100% genuine I think, the german/finnish I also belive is ok, inspite of the faker friendly back But the one with the odd ribbon last is feels ......hmmm looks similar to another bar shown here yesterday? Maybe someone in Germany have started a new business? The ribbons looks/feels old but, I don?t know. Christer

Last one for today ! Christer

A couple of new ones arrived Friday not very hard ones but still interesting. First one , KVK + Ost med + Finnish Liberty cross 4th class 1941 (always fun with foreign awards) Next one : Pure Imperial! EK, EHK , Preuss Ls , Preuss Ls and ? Bavarian? Last one is odd,hmm EK, Waldeck , EHK, Austria and ??? what? Christer

Maybe this is a little offtopic? An wounded english soldier carried by four German POWs But still an interesting card. Christer

And here is three more medics in a somewhat more "frontline" Photo Bavarians? Christer

Hi, not a front line photo but a medic with EK II Hope it fits into the thread anyway. Christer

Thanks Rick ! You are right, that would be a possibility! I have start to search the Finnish Generals during WW2 and they were "only" about 60 or so (I have to start with something) trying to find out wich were in J?g Battl 27. 20 of the former J?gers were Mannerheim Cross Winners !! It going to be a long dark autumn, with only me and old papers (my wife will probably take a vacation in some sunny place when I start to look through dust old books ......) Good night from Sweden Christer

Hi all ! Just want to tell about a new "mini" project! I am going to try to find the man behind my long "navy" ribbonbar with Libertycross 2nd , 3rd and 4th class + German eagle order and Ehrenkreuz. As he was a member of Preuss 27th J?gerbattalion I got about 2000 possibilities Hmmm, BUT there was only about 1200 of theese fighting in the war 1918! So from 2000 to 1200 , and 120 was killed in action so down to about 1100 left. Now from research I found out that about 800 former J?gers become Officers in Finland after 1918!! So now down to 800 possible Still to many, but in a book from 1943 concerning the J?ger Batl it is said that about 300 become Majors or higher rank. And 39 become Generals. Much better with 300 than 2000. Now I have to start looking for Finnish officers who has been i 27TH J?ger Btl and in war 1918 AND in Battle of Tammerfors 1918 AND recived German Eagle order but no EK 1918,1939..... wish me luck If anyone have any information about Finnish former J?ger officers I am happy to know everything you got Christer

And some more, Swedish at the bottom with blunt thick needles Christer

And here is some close ups ! Old 1918 style with screwposts Christer

Thanks Ed and Rick ! I think you are right Rick about the 27th J?ger Btl most of the former members become high ranking officers in the Finnish Forces later. Have to see if I can find a list of Finnish officers who wa sin the 27th J?ger? Maybe it is possible to give a name to the ribbon bar? Here is some pics of the backsides, hope they are ok. Most are of the same type with long rather thin needles, but some older one from 1918 has screwposts the ones with the thick blunt needle are often from Sweden. Have a nice weekend all Christer

Ribbon Bar to Colonel or GenMaj ? Now we are talking ! Mini ribbon bar said to be used by navy personal? Here we have a high decorated fighter fron three wars ! 1918, 1939 and 1941 1: Liberty cross 2nd class 1941? at no front service 2: Liberty cross 3rd class 1939 ( I am guessing here) 3: Liberty cross 4th class 1939 4: Order of White Rose Commander 5: Order of White Rose Knight 6: Com medal 1918 7: Com medal 1939 ws 8: Com medal Tampere 1918 9: German Ehrenkreuz 1935 (for 1918 civil war together with german troops ?) 10:German Eagle Order 1941-42? Some high ranking officer in Finnish navy 1941-43? could possible have a 1 st class Liberty cross as well? If only theese ribbon bars could speak! Christer

Interesting bar! Now to something more difficult, 1: Liberty cross 4th class But 1918 or 1939 ? I would guess 1918 2: Libety cross 4th class civil 1939 3: Com medal 1918 with rose (for bravery I think) 4: Winter war medal wo s Could have been fighting in 1918 got liberty cross then back in HQ or behind lines in 1939? Christer

Here is the other one 1: Liberty cross 4th class w oakl 1941 2: Liberty cross 4th class 1941 3: Liberty cross medal 2nd class 1939? 4 winter war medal (swords missing) NCO during winter war and officer later in 1941-44 ?

Here is the first of two very similar ribbon bars first this one: 1: Liberty cross 3rd class 1941 2: Libert cross 4th class w oakl 1941 3: Libert cross medal 2nd class 1939 ? 4: Winter war medal ws He should/could have had another 4th class Lc 1941 after the one w oakl, often you see different made bars and I dont relly know the regulations for theese?

And yet another incomplte ribbon bar.... Why do so many finnish ribbon bars get separated? I dont know how many half , like theese I have seen during the years.. Here we got a top half of something 1. Liberty cross 3rd class 1941 2. Liberty cross 4th class with oak leaf 1941 (for 2nd award) 3. Liberty cross 4th class 1941 Or maybe he did it the "less is more" way? and just showed his bravey awards and not the commorative stuff? Christer

Continuation War 1941-1944 Here is a guy from the coastal artillery 1941-44 1: Libert cross medal 2nd class 1941 2: Com medal Continuation war 3: Coastal Art com medal 4: Blue Cross a ribbon bar from 1960 s

Another civil war fighter 1: Liberty cross medal 1st class 1918 2: Comm medal 1918 3: Com medal of Tampere 1918 4: Probably Aunus com cross 1919-1922 (how many did participate in this conflict?) Does anyone have som info about this Aunus com cross 1919-1922 ? Christer

And back to 1918 ! Sorry for the jumping in history, but here is a almost standard ribbon bar from 1918 period 1: Medal of Liberty 2nd class 1918 2: Comm medal war 1918 3: Winter war wo sw 4: Com medal for battle of Tampere A fighter from 1918 still doing service in 1939 but not in frontline anymore.
