      Happy to, Owain.

      M NIB 08 -- 60th Anniversary of the State Bank, 1924-84 The State Bank so well known to us all.

      Just so you have a real-world reference, the main building at Mongolian State University. To get the same view, I'd have had to stand in the centre of a busy intersection, most unwise in Ulanbaatar! The statue of Choibalsan out front doesn't show on the badges (the university was originally founded by him).

      The star-thingy (by which I assume you mean the one at the top) is completely unknown to Battushig, though it seems to be remarkably similar to the collar badge worn by the guard at the parliament building I photographed in May. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18232&st=30

      Good points, Rick. I think most of the shoulder boards I have posted were from unissued stock, so they may never had had branch insigniae. The winged prop:

      Yes, Owain has some excellent recent articles that touch on this subject. Sometimes you have to read . . . paper.

      A collection of shoulder board insigniae. Some familiar, some unfamiliar, some known, some unknown. On authentic Mongolian cardboard.

      While I know nothing about the "two varieties" (and neither do our friends in UB), here's the badge:

      The latest word is that this order is soon to be recalibrated: 1st class - from 8 to 5 children 2nd class - from 5 to 3 children

      A nice one though. Always more to learn . . . I it!

      Pre-1947 ribbons are fairly easy to get, for example from the OMSA or OMRS ribbon banks. Post-1947 ribbons are in the OMSA ribbon bank (I keep them pretty well supplied).
    14. Ed_Haynes
      Yes, very much. But only a few collectors (South Asian or foreign) can contend with the ever-rising prices and shrinking supplies. A standard ECON 101 scenario. Many items are now cheaper and easier to find in London, at London prices, than in New Delhi. Yet the best items still stay in India (and, I presume, Pakistan, though the market there is less well developed).

      All I know is that I picked it up in Ulanbaatar for almost nothing. There must be a tale, but . . . ????
    16. Ed_Haynes
      Yes, I'd noted that too. The picture shows clear evidence of being 'distressed', folded and cracked. It does look like it got peeled off something old and added here. In a society where photos were uncommon and expensive . . . .

      Closeup.

      Another labor union membership book. It shows payments through December 1989 (when she would have been 86 years old). She was a union member from May 1942.

      A young Choibalsan?
    20. Ed_Haynes
      . . . and, finally. These photos deserve some close and focused study.

      Some photos from his State funeral. Some familiar faces here?

      Another nice picture of "Big C". No awards, but some familiar faces.
