      Careful with Sukhe Bator and Ulan Bator, Mongolians themselves now use a new prefered spelling for these: Sukhbaatar and Ulaanbaatar

      And to think I was in UB in 1998, when SB's where selling for 50 US, and I wasn't even interested them at that time, still kicking myself for that

      40th anniversary medal of the MPR n?14 ??? Did you get the medals also? Jan
    4. Vatjan
      Oh what the heck, let's start a Mongolian award quiz So on second thought and after more thorough consideration I'd say a Polar Star Order, awarded around 1983. Jan

      Hahaha, that will teach me trying to read the post diagonnally when I have little time, and then making bold statements Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I say we wait for the doc and check the inside doublespread, before I embarrass myself again Best regards Jan

      What medal/order it is, its number and award date are written on the following double page. Judging from the number on page 1, I would guess it is a 1980's honorary labour medal. Jan

      Christophe, isn't there one more inside page following this one? Jan

      Aagh, how my poor heart aches, seeing these pix. Keep 'em coming Ed, if I almost close my eyes and look through the slits at your pictures, I feel as if I'm there... except for the cold of course. Please give my warmest regards to Bat Jan

      This is very intersting, I'll be checking my days for more mystery signatures. Keep up the good work JC Thanks Jan

      You're going back , unfortunately there isn't a "green-with-envy" smiley I'll be walking the rounds with you in my head, enjoy lovely Mongolia Jan

      Not quite what you are thinking I'm sure I was wondering where those creative designers got their ideas when drawing a new badge, well from their neighbours it would appear. Here are a few examples, don't hesitate to post more.

      It looks like I06 Soviet-Mongolian friendship society badge. Some nice metal ribbons underneath the badge Jan

      Oh my..., this is the first time I see an order booklet with so many entries, and what about those low numbers. Now that would be one group I would love to have in my collection Jan
    14. Vatjan
      Much to philosophize about indeed. Nice one, Ed (once again ) Jan
    15. Vatjan
      Ed, although the numbers are still akward, 36 would be 1946 and not 1956, since they started counting from 1911 as being year 1 Jan

      Dear Christian, I do not think this forum, and in particular this thread, are meant to discuss someone's character and/or reputation, and definitely not to settle any personel problems you might have with another member of the forum. Let us please go back to the cavaliers Jan

      Thanks for sharing Ed, it's so nice to see a group with a name, instead of all those type & variation singles Jan
    18. Vatjan
      Well, ... maybe I cheat
    19. Vatjan
      To narrow it down, I think Mr Post7 is probably an Uzbek, seeing he has the Uzbek Jasorat medal Jan
    20. Vatjan
      Well, we have identified the Mongolian awards for you, plus some others as well, so I think we did quite well Jan
    21. Vatjan
      He must have been tall too, because you can see from the perspective of the pic, the photographer had to "shoot" upwards. Maybe it could have been a very little photographer of course, mmm Jan
    22. Vatjan
      In know it is very sad, but I have to admit I have none
    23. Vatjan
      The cross with the palm on the ribbon left of the victory ordres is the French war cross Just to the right of the Virtuti Militare breastplate is the sash badge of the L?gion d'honneur, on the left of the VM is of course the breatsplate of the L?gion d'honneur. Jan
    24. Vatjan
      Yes those are Red Banner of Military Valor orders with underneath on the left the Khalkhin Gol badge and on the right 2nd type of the Order of the Republic of the People's republic of Tuva Jan
    25. Vatjan
      Wow Ed, some of these are amongst the most esthetically pleasing badges I've seen, especially the circus and theatre badges. Mmm, will have to do some hunting to get these for my collection Jan
