      Well . . . pieces were removed.

      Everything in Pakistan, including Pakistan, was part of India until 1947. Compared to what I see in India, I am surprised (= shocked) at how crude these Pakistani badges are. And I know they can make better. Are these real?
    3. Ed_Haynes
      It is amazing how these "humble men of the cloth" can get all decked out.
    4. Ed_Haynes
      Well, when they're good, Pakistan has been a part of the Commonwealth (whatever that means) even since independence in 1947.

      Yes, the Gazette of India publishes all these notifications. I have them all on file and Rana and I referenced all of them in our book.
    6. Ed_Haynes
      I would love to show some, but I don't have any. Have never gotten any badges, not even in India. I do look forward to seeing them, though.

      The eBay seller listed on Bob's initial post has it.

      An interesting book review:
    9. Ed_Haynes
      I am dubious. The story, as it was told to me, is that three (3) of the cosmonaut badges were made (Gurragchaa wanted a duplicate, he may have lost #1). And I have never heard that these badges went to the Soviet hosts. And I don't think they got the labor award. Can confirm. A good friend's mother interviewed them all and got friendly with the two Mongolians.

      How very nice. Even "cute". Amazing how there are always things to learn about Cuban awards! Thanks.

      It weighs in at 3 kg. Makes the new BB&M look like tiny.

      I suspect the language problems (in Mongolian only) will make it a must-have only for the true fanatic. I await critiquesfrom friends in UB, but I am getting a copy anyway. The e$cam seller has access to many copies, as the auithor is a friend of his. If you really need/want it, drop me an e-mail and I can help.
    13. Ed_Haynes
      And don't worry, more copies are available than the one Bob bought
    14. Ed_Haynes
      Just a sample. Another good reason to learn Mongolian .
    15. Ed_Haynes
      Yes. Mine is on the way too. All in Mongolian, but should have some nice new pictures. I know the collection on which it is based.
    16. Ed_Haynes
      You put in mildly, Darrell, you put it mildly.

      While I am sure all of you frequent our Mongolian sub-forum I wanted to draw your attention to a ribbon bar I recently acquired (sewn onto the uniform). http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15730&st=126 While I have been able to identify most of the ribbons, two are elusive (and may never be tracked down). I'd appreciate a quick glance and any thoughts you may have. Thanks in advanace.
    18. Ed_Haynes
      Oops. Sorry. Working from memory. A fragile thing at times .
    19. Ed_Haynes
      We neeed to learn so much. And your specimens will help us learn. Thanks! For reference: http://www.medals.lava.pl/yu/yu2.htm http://www.coleccionesmilitares.com/cintas/cintaseu.htm#y and click on the little "[1]" beneath "REP?BLICA FEDERAL DE YUGOSLAVIA | YUGOSLAVIE | FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YOUGOSLAVIA"

      The second bar is interesting, but clearly the BWM does NOT belong there. 1- Order of the British Empire/British Empire Medal; ___???___ 2- King's/Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service; Defence Medal; General Service Medal; Elizabeth II Coronation A policeman. What could be missing. Must think . . .
    21. Ed_Haynes
      Yes, very interesting. Seeing that alternative (prototype?) Allied Victory Medal ribbon actually mounted up is unusual to say the least. As has been discussed elsewhere, many local bodies in the US adopted a close cousin for their unofficial medals, but this is the first time I have seen in in British wear. Thanks for sharing a close-up.
    22. Ed_Haynes
      Thanks. Interesting to see US manufactured pieces of these medals.

      A political "who's who" of Mongolia. Made a bit strange to use by the quirky renedering of Mongolian names into German. Still of value. http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~corff/im/Who...20040703-4.html
    24. Ed_Haynes
      The final one looks like Egypt/UAR/Syria. Would have to read what is on the scroll beneath the eagle/hawk.
    25. Ed_Haynes
      Not sure I understand teh question, Christopohe. Soviet follows Mongolian. From the end of the third row and all of the fourth row. Then the last two rows are from other friendly nations. Earlier ribbon bars mix the Soviet and Mongolian ones more than this does. To see the uniform to which it is sewn, see http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18232&st=34
