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.

Just to start it . . .

B 42 -- Tsedenbal

We already have threads for

Deputy Badges - http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8937 and http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5294

Non-MPRP awards - http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10098

We need a thread for MPRP awards. May this be it?

And the document interior.

And the reverse of a Type 1 and a (non-matching) document.

A 41 -- Medal "We Won"

Essentially, the WWII Victory Medal.

Type 1 (thick) - Low = 111/High = 50432

Type 2 (thin) - Low = 50504/High = 54706

Type 3 (for foreigners, on pentagonal suspension) - Low = ??/High = 25767

A Type 1 and a Type 2.

We have separate threads for many of Battushig's "A" items, from the Hero of Mongolia (A 1) through the Medal for Unselfishness (A 40) and the Udarnik Badge (A 61), and there is no reason to duplicate them here. Yet the "anniversary and award medals" (A 41 through A 60), while covered, have been spread throughout this forum as it has evolved and may be hard to find, especially for new collectors.

Hi, Ed--

You're right, Ed. But $50,000 for 3 flying badges has nothing to do with market forces, it has more to do with chemical imbalances.

Agreed . . . but if someone would actually PAY that . . . !

My kingdom for a documented badge....

I got a badge. I got (getting) a document. I got a slug!

V NIB 02 -- 18th Conference of the MRYL

GIGANTIC, 40 x 64 mm. And beautiful, though it does not scan well.

V 12 -- The Outstanding Agitator of the MYRL

V 11 -- The Outstanding Educator of the Young Generation

V 10 - MRYL Pin

Obviously a later badge than many shown here, as the MRYL had been awarded three Sukhbaatars by this time.

But even without attending, the journal is still good (though, of necessity, it depends entirely on who is willing to write things).

V 08 -- The Glory of Veterans (MYRL)

V 07 -- 50 Years of Mongolian Revolutionary Youth League, 1921-71

V 06 -- MRYL Pin
