      Next, this one to a woman, a Medal for Distinguished Labor: Rukiya Abidova
    2. Ed_Haynes
      The award details:
    3. Ed_Haynes
      Two labor medals, both to Uzbeks, and linked together although they are not a group. And neither is numbered. The first a Medal for Valiant Labor [sic]: Rakhimberdy Temirov

      Sorry, but the only double (or better) Red Banners I have are to: 1- Major General Vatslav Bronislavovich Lavrinovich - but he never lived to get his "2" - http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2326 2- Captain Vladimir Vasilievich Kulishenko - but his second Red banner isn't a "2" - http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20951

      And overseas medals. There are more, somewhere, . . . .
    6. Ed_Haynes
      Here are a few of mine. Can add details as desired. Isn't it wonderful (= diverse = insane) when all you have to do is find a manufacturer selling the gongs?
    7. Ed_Haynes
      I am told -- by those more expert than I -- that there are major originality issues here.
    8. Ed_Haynes
      But many do desire such global conquest, Rick, many do . . . [background echoes of insane laughter] . . . really. Not for me, but some want every Red Star (or EK or ___) ever made and care not at all for the history.
    9. Ed_Haynes
      Agreed, Rick. But, then, you may merely be describing "collectors"? Look in the mirror, all?? As Pogo said: "We have met the enemy, and they are us."
    10. Ed_Haynes
      As these things go away -- and in this case it would be a blessing -- the images need (?) preservation. This one is an embroidered patch. Now, in unison, . . .
    11. Ed_Haynes
      True. It is not just a siphoning of the market, but a partitioning of the market. Part of me is glad to see these things going home, but part of me is bothered by the dead-end that that entails. And I think Christian is right about what this means the market.
    12. Ed_Haynes
      Most strange, Bob. I have just received delivery of some items I got that had gone unsold in that auction!
    13. Ed_Haynes
      Agreed. With some dealers the basic rules of logic (like the basic rules of economics) seem to function differently.
    14. Ed_Haynes
      My sense is that he is being very VERY slow. Not overly surprised . . . .
    15. Ed_Haynes
      A lot of his awards show damage. Maybe he just had too many??
    16. Ed_Haynes
      True! Anyone care to offer a guess as to whose this was? I think I know . . . .
    17. Ed_Haynes
      Nice image. You have only the image??
    18. Ed_Haynes
      An interesting post. Though I must admit that I am getting more and more confused the longer it goes on. But maybe that is just DDR phaleristics??
    19. Ed_Haynes
      The whole uniform world seems very different from the medal world, Doc. More clashing national egos and personal interpretations and less solid evidence (at least in English).
    20. Ed_Haynes
      Even with such poor pictures, this one doesn't look to me to be at all good.
    21. Ed_Haynes
      Yes: N19 - 50 Years of the Great Construction (1926-1976) N20 - 60 Years of the Great Construction (1926-1986) There is a 70 Years badge (N21). The last seems to be a NIB (Not In Battushig) 80 years badge (1926-2006), so very new and after the publication of his book. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10222 (into which I am merging this thread).
    22. Ed_Haynes
      Thanks. Yes, that is the highest in that variation. With 1038 the highest in Type 1.2, I think we can posit 1000 of type 1.1? Let me see if I can make changes in my forthcoming JOMSA article to reflect this. Thanks again!
    23. Ed_Haynes
      Yum. We can't wait. But, then, neither can you?
    24. Ed_Haynes
      While it is bretty basic, you may find Philip J. Haythornthwaite, The Colonial Wars Source Book ([London]; Caxton Editions, [2000]; ISBN 1-84067-231-5) to be of some interest. It is free of the kinds of bias that infect many similar books. It may not be easy to find, though; I'd start on ABE Books.
    25. Ed_Haynes
      Skimp on the kids. sure, easy. Skimp on our owners (these so-called "pets") . . . you must be somehow kidding?!?!
