A 43 -- Medal "40 Years of the MPR" Low = 00565/High = 58252 And, some place, I thought I had a document . . . help?!?

Document interior spread.

Reverse and (non-matching) document exterior.

A 42 -- Medal "25 Years of the MPR" Type 1 (broad numbers) - Low = 159/High = 9116 Type 2 (narrow numbers) - Low = 10327/High = 20008 Type 3 (for foreigners, on pentagonal suspension) - Low = ??/High = ??

Still waiting, after a LONG time, for research word (or not) on mine -- 3rd class, 58814 -- P-E-N-D-I-N-G.

Lovely. It is, however, very UNlovely and demonstrably CRIMINAL that the auctioneer saw fit to lose or throw away the research that the previous custodian had done. Is anyone up for do-it-yourself capital punishment? Or, at least, public shaming. For those outside the Inner Circle, which criminal sold this one?

Please place them here. I don't have any (yet)!

X 28 -- 40 Years of the Trade Union Battushig also shows this as K 11 (see http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10190&st=6 as well)

X 26 -- Outstanding Trade Union Activist

While we have a thread on the Champion of Socialist Competition badges (X 01 and X 02) at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8087 might we place other "X-category" badges here?

W 19 -- Racing

See see also http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6987 -- but may we keep sports badges here, please.

T 25 -- 60 Years of the Mongolian Medical Service

We have separate threads on the S 01 Badge "People's" (http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5056) and the S 02 Title of Merit badge (http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5056), but let's put the others here. S 31 -- D. Natsagdorj

R 21 -- The Honorary Badge of the Central Committee of the Ministry of Culture and Education

While I don't know if we are brave enough to get into the "diamonds" here, we do need a thread for this category.

P 04 -- 50 Years of the 1st Car Center

O 03 -- The Honored Railway Worker

N 06 -- The Outstanding Construction Worker of the People's Army

Just to start it . . . J 34 -- The Outstanding Farmer

While we have a lot of overlapping threads on the herder badges (J 01 through J 03) -- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5229 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8939 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8596 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5055 -- and even some attention to the ranger-herder badge (J 04) -- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6053 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5055 -- most of the other agriculture badfges have enjoyed no focused attention. Given the importance of agriculture in the Mongolian economy, maybe they deserve their own focused thread?

I 04 -- Dove A small -- 18 x 20 mm -- and peaceful little dove.

H 23 -- Mongolia A tiny little thing, the Mongolian map and dove section is only 22 x 16 mm.

Just to start it . . . C 27 -- Khalkin Gol, 1039-2004 Pretty uncommon, can't have been many recipients?

While the Partisan's Badge has good coverage elsewhere -- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4519 -- it may be usefuil to have this thread to show and discuss other "category 'C'" badges.
