Nice ones!
A shame the ribbon bar and, presumably, documents were split up, but still nice.

2- Rastakhiz Medal

OK, still lots of unanswered questions - date of entry into theatre? any sign of a clasp qualification?
Not sure what advice you got, Doc, but there's way to go yet!

We have no (or little) control over what others do to the things that come to us (though, if we know, we can strive to avoid monkeyed-with items). We do have great (almost total) control over what WE do to the items in our custody.

Repairs and damage (even modifications) done by the recipient are one thing; "repairs" (or "restorations") done by later custodians (including dealers) are something else entirely!

A shame someone mucked with the enamel on that one. On some things (very few) I am a conservative (conservationist?).

One of the most delightful things about Mongolian awards are the early (pre-1961) enamel ribbon bars.
Can we show our solo bars (with the later cloth bars, if possible) and any enamel ribbon bar groups here? If possible, can we also show the official post-1961 cloth ribbon bars too? (As much fun as the domed plastic bars are, they are unofficial and often bizarre examples of artictic [?] inventiveness.)
I have all but the Sukhbaatar (help??) in enamel.

A nice collection and avery nice presentation, Brian. While these may raise more questions than they answer, every little bit of evidence we can get in untangling "things Ethiopian" may, someday, somehow, help. Thanks again.

Hmmm... I would really like to know the reason why e.g. "Neues Allgemeines Deutsches Adels-Lexicon" volumes 1-4 can be downloaded outside US while volumes 5-9 can't...
Would guess it has to do with the restrictions -- probably completely illogical -- put forward by the libraries that owned the copies that Google scanned. That is to say: Randomness. On one level, I am amazed that they allow anything to be scanned. You have to think like a librarian in this age where no one knows what copyright laws if any really apply and so many feel they are absolutely free to steal things and redistribute them.

Since I still have A&T out, even at the risk of getting
, here are the WWII honorary MMs:
U.S.A. - 310
Free French - 185
Poland - 63
Belgium - 24
Greece - 24
Norway - 23
Czechoslovakia - 18
Netherlands - 9
U.S.S.R. - 4
And, as with WWI, these numbers may be low and incomplete.
