Back to topic: A very interesting badge for those who fought for the liberation of their country. -
Bulgaria Bulgarian Anti-faschist fighters
Ed_Haynes replied to Theodor's topic in Central & Eastern European States
It is just that "commie" is a politically inflamatory term. But I'm sure you knew that and intended it thus. -

Why "commie"?????????? -
Yowie! That is a really early 2nd class!!!

OK, I am feeling incredibly stupid, so be gentle with me: How difficult is it to say what is a "fake" and what is not when there was no central manufacturing (or even quality control, especially as the war went on, and after the war when the issuing States were quite extinct?) of these awards? There was no Royal Mint, no Mondovor. You were awarded the order, you went off to some local jeweler and bought it. (Like French awards?) So what is real, what is fake? Micro-dissection seems odd as any maker could, I presume, make it pretty much as they wished and in whatever form they could sell? And did this change over time? It may be a question of what is "period"? But what period? Pre-1918 or post-1918? What is "real" and what isn't? Trying to learn here, but VERY confused.

Mongolia What questions to ask?
Ed_Haynes replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in People's Republic Mongolia
Thanks, Rick, I think (think?) I know the answers to at least some of these, but let me ask directly and answer coherently. If others could continue Rick's numbering, this would help me (and Bat). I'll have internet for a bit in UB, but after the first few days I cannot guarantee. -
I agree completely with Rick (on this ). A zero-tolerance and total boycott policy should be in place. Why sell to such scum in the first place?? I am, frankly, amazed at and scandalized by the "wink-wink but it was his property anyway" attitude that often emerges. Shame, shame, as it is deserved . . . .

Starting early next week, I'll be in Mongolia for several weeks. I shall, of course, be meeting up with Battushig and others. Item #1 on my agenda to explore will be the question of research, conjoined with the question of movement toward a 2nd edition of Bat's book. What other questions need to be raised? What gnaws at you and tweaks your curiosity? Please add these here.

Is this VC okay?
Ed_Haynes replied to PKeating's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
Setting aside the immense and fairly shameful controversy over Pun's medals, I sincerely doubt this is the original VC. Most museums do not display the real ones. As the New Zealanders learned to thei peril. -

No reverse images? Offhand, I'd think "Museum Replica" (= "Nice Fake"). -
UB Post, 8 May 2008 90 soldiers will attend the Victory Written by Sh.Batmonkh Thursday, May 08, 2008. Commemorations for the 63rd anniversary of the Victory Day of the former USSR in World War Two will be held in the Siberian Region of Russia on May 9. General M.Khurlee, general inspector of the General Staff of the Mongolian Armed Forces and over 90 soldiers left to attend the event for Siberian region on May 6. They will place a wreath on the monument of a soldier who died during war. A Mongolian soldier will also attend the parade of event, reported the daily Ardchilal newspaper. On 16 April 1945, the Russian Red Army attacked Berlin. After days of fierce battle, the Nazis signed the surrender report in Karlskhorstod Germany. At that event, there were leaders of Russia, USA, Great Britain and France. Under Soviet influence this day was widely celebrated in Mongolia, although there was no involvement of Mongolia in the European front during WW2. http://ubpost.mongolnews.mn/index.php?opti...1&Itemid=36

UB Post, 22 May 2008 President Awarded Russian Medal Written by Sh.Batmonkh Thursday, May 22, 2008. President N.Enkhbayar made a short visit to Russia last week, during which he was awarded the Pushkin Medal by his new Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev. Enkbayar received the medal for his great contribution to promoting the Russian language, preserving cultural heritage and bringing cultures and peoples closer together during a ceremony in Moscow last Friday (May 16). The two leaders discussed strengthening cooperation in Northeast and Central Asia and bilateral economic relations. Enkhbayar congratulated Dmitry Medvedev on his inauguration as President of Russia and said he was confident that Russia and Mongolia would continue their close cooperation. Both also exchanged views on the organization of the 70th anniversary of Great Victory for Khalkh Gol War. http://ubpost.mongolnews.mn/index.php?opti...iew&id=1833

I fear --and shall soon report in detail -- that the completely insane prices in the recently published price guide book will destroy the Ulanbaatar market is the book makes it out there.

India General Service Medal and Bar
Ed_Haynes replied to notned's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
Right, forgot to mention them. Mostly Tibets (Simla-side) and IGS08s "Abor" (Darjeeling-side) from what I have been told. -
Case with St. Helena and bavarian commerative cross
Ed_Haynes replied to Christian J's topic in Napoleonic Wars
Absolutely lovely, immense historical value, and it sold for an absolute song. And "Buying the story" is a very different thing from "buying the history"; "pieces" are just meaningless things, only with history do they become collectible and interesting (= research).
