The reverse. According to the research provider: "Commendation for the Medal is confidential." Guess I'll just need to keep trying? -

The reverse. Need to see if I can get the recommendation on this. Not knowing it existed, I didn't ask. -

Well . . . . Research is in. And it will be interesting. Though some things we don't know (can't know?). The group is, alas, very broken. Shall post with the light of a new day. -
Good question. New one on me.

Regiments.org
Ed_Haynes replied to Stuart Bates's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
E-mailing a 28 meg file will probably present problems, even if compressed (it may not ZIP too much). I am a litytle uncomfortable about some of the copyright aspects here, but the outstanding work that was on Regiments.org needs to be preserved. -

A very sad loss indeed. -
Thanks. So noted.

Really nice! Assume this is Qing Dynasty, and nothing to do with Gordon?

Yes, we do have a low number for the mirror reverse. Is Rick now recording these too? Assume this is 148?

And (easier to find, famous NJ dealer stocks it). Zhong Guo Hui Zhang ([n.p.: 2000]; ISBN 7-5306-3106-3) Bibliographically elusive, this small volume shares many of the problems of the CPRMM volume (above): it is entirely in Chinese with only Xeroxed captions included from most sellers. It does, however, seem to be more comprehensive and it does give text (in Chinese) beyond a simple caption on each of the awards. If more of us could read this text! This book is also easier to obtain, as it is fairly regularly stocked by the better Soviet award dealers.

I have found only two even remotely useful sources on PRC awards, both in Chinese. Illustrated Collection of Badges in the Chinese People's Revolutionary Military Museum ([beijing: 1980]; ISBN 7-80603-104-9) One of the two standard books, this one has become scarce in recent years, though some of the better Soviet medal dealers occasionally stock it. The book is entirely in Chinese, but is usually sold in the USA accompanied by a Xeroxed set of translations of the photo captions. While the translations are less than elegant, they are a great aid to the mostly-non-Chinese-speaking phaleristic world. Hard to find these days.

Well, actually, it is (as interesting as a VrC, but maybe not a MC). Surely more interesting than medals to Europeans. Have you seen my Soviet collection? Workers usually matter more than soldiers to me. The problem is that they often don't come with ribbon, and when they do the prices are too high. You don't want to encourage the dealers in bad habits, do you? Moreover, my feeling about the Tatas (though from Bikaner State) make me predisposed to pay lower prices than usual for medals linked in any way to them. (For those not knowing Indian capitalist families, Tata ~= Ford.)
-
Interesting enough. I have no medals to the Tatas and have never cared to acquire any to their workers for long service.

Soviet Number on jubilee OPW1
Ed_Haynes replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
No just a curiosity as the serial number is duplicated in some of the "I am lost (or: Have you seen this medal?)" databases. And all this for just an '85??? -
