N 15 -- The Border Guard Construction Unit As these confusing numbered units go, note that this is unit "0119". For whatever that is worth.

B 21 and B 22 -- Veteran of the MPRP While this has been shown before, a side-by-side comparison of the two types may be of some use. -
J 29 -- Volunteer Herder Hard to scan and perhaps even harder to describe. The 31 x 20 mm badge has, as backing, a 2-mm think metal plate. The top two-thirds (or so) of the badge are overlaid by a 20 x 20 mm piece of green stone (jadeite?) that is 2.5 mm thick; into/onto this, the gilt animal head is placed.

J 42 -- Outstanding Hunter of the MPR Already shown, but here are three different types/varieties. FYI on the sorts of manufacturing variations that can be seen.

Right now, research options for individuals are limited (except for officers and JCOs). It is hoped that, within a couple of years, whatever records have survived the working (?) bureaucracy of the Ministry of Defence will have been centralised in protective hands. For regiments/battalions, there are more research options (what was this guy's UNIT up to?). But, being artillery, little joy here. I will check to see if, by chance, he was KIA.

Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Ed_Haynes replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
While the whole range of "prize" medals are badly unappreciated, they are also hurt by the pro-military bias that exists within phaleristics. While killing Hitlerites is (surely) a worthy act, so is teaching little children? A lovely medal, Christian! -
Mongolia Gentlemen please check your screwplates!
Ed_Haynes replied to fjcp's topic in People's Republic Mongolia
Having called together the "mob", I have but so far just one datapoint to contribute, but, maybe, an interesting one. Polar Star type 3.1, #1217. Documented, awarded 3 December 1955. Same recycling from the Medal for Combat/Military Merit but this is showing the last two characters from the second line of text. -
