      I think you have us all thinking, looking, searching, puzzling.
    2. Ed_Haynes
      Yes, what I cite (the PDF) is the official approval.
    3. Ed_Haynes
      I would HOPE these wouldn't classify as a new variation, just as "noise" in the manufacturing process.
    4. Ed_Haynes
      Well, a lot of the badges that have recently come to market are flush-outs from the valuts of the state bank. (Like almost everything else seen in the last couple of years.) Late issues or replacement documents? Could be either. Shall try to find out. I still think the FAKES coming out of China are just that.

      OK, to quote: Well, this is based on plundered national treasure of Iraq too, but not as bad as the regular campaign medal.
    6. Ed_Haynes
      Ribbon soooo close to UNEF. Better than her wearing her Clown Crown? As explained in the notification (the PDF file), the central legenmd is an inspirational message in Cuneiform. Again, better than stolen Iraqi national treasures?

      A not very nice image, but:
    8. Ed_Haynes
      Oh yesss. Wish we could see what our young lieutenant wears.
    9. Ed_Haynes
      It is a PDF file, Paul. You need the (free) Adobe Acrobat reader to see it. http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/
    10. Ed_Haynes
      And a closeup of the lieutenant (?). Who was he??
    11. Ed_Haynes
      Interestingly, these seem to have been issued to award recipients, for this is the front.
    12. Ed_Haynes
      It is, of course, in bichig. A sample page (the first). Rather than post the text, I'll try to get a translation.
    13. Ed_Haynes
      As shown on Battushig's book on p. 26, this is the little cloth-covered booklet, 17 pages only, of the 1931 awards rules.
    14. Ed_Haynes
      And his awards: Order of Combat Valor, #14, 6 July 1946 Honorary Medal of Combat, #902, 10 July 1941 Polar Star, #1029, 29 September 1945 Honorary Medal of Combat, #7622, 8 July 1947 Polar Star, #2824, 5 February 1949 Polar Star, #5941, 24 July 1948 Order of Combat Valor, #391, 11 September 1953

      Closeup of the prominent- and powerful-looking recipient.
    16. Ed_Haynes
      The next spread.
    17. Ed_Haynes
      First page. 9 July 1946 document.
    18. Ed_Haynes
      One more. Exterior.
    19. Ed_Haynes
      Much to know, much to learn . . . ??
    20. Ed_Haynes
      Then follow a number of coupons (30 pages of them -- evidence of only two pages having been torn out), mostly blank, with only three filled in (redeemed?), the last in year 39 (=1949). Does this say something about the mortality of the recipient?
    21. Ed_Haynes
      . . . comes the exciting stuff. Medal of Combat, #6094, 22 July 36 (=1946?) cf. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6043&st=85
    22. Ed_Haynes
      After some pages of introductory text, apparently outlining available goodies, . . .
    23. Ed_Haynes
      Paired (apparently) with the document shown at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6043&st=80 (so, what else is there of his?!) came this sad-looking little paper booklet.
    24. Ed_Haynes
      And a loseup of the recipient, a rather stern-looking truck driver (P05) with lots of ribbons.
    25. Ed_Haynes
      And the interior, dated 12 November 1959.
