Since I know Igor doesn't mind we post his pix as long as we keep the copyright mention, here they are before they dissappear from his website when the order is sold. Jan

In post 59 you can cearly see the blue ribbon with stripes for the friendship medal and the red ribbon with yellow stripes for the 50th anniv MPR medal. Jan

They are mounted on the ribbons used for the ribbonbars. Jan

Very, very nice, keep 'em coming Jan

Well, it was already posted elsewhere, but it seems more appropriate to do it here: Close-up of the Collar of the Grand Master of the Ordre de la Lib?ration

Yes we have indeed slowed down a little have we not. Well it was to be expected, since this was the first place we could share information we just raced through all questions and answers we had on hand. Many questions have been answered, many remain, but these are the hard ones, of course. Some might even need the help of the Mongolian government to be resolved, others are about items so seldomly seen or so prohibitively expensive that thourough investigation and research, are hard. Anyway, I'm cooking up a few new ideas for new threads, but I have little time recently, and resizing all those pix demands just that, ... but soon

I'm sorry for the outburst that was sheer frustration taking the upperhand. Just goes to show how hard it is to stop rumours Jan

Looks good Ed, Although I have my doubts about this one: Type 2.3 (Screwback; no mintmark; Uighur; SN at 7 o?clock); Low = 1562/High = ????; 1937 Probably a year 37 award = 1947 And I'm always very sceptical about one-shots like this. Jan

The multicoloured motif are actually the ribbons of the Orders the MRYL was awarded so we have: 3 Sukhebaatars, 1 Red Combat Banner and 1 Red Banner of Labour Jan

Here's a close up. Jan

Here's one I brought back from a trip to Myanmar a couple of years ago. 324 SUB. INSP. MG. Po Saing Police Dept.

Belgian & Russian in one group...my favourite combination Lovely group Igor, congratulations Jan

I don't know, since i don't read russian, I only look at the pictures

No, I got them from a Belgian collecting buddy.

I don't know if this particular piece is legit or not, but this badge has certainly existed. See Avers 2 n?339. It dates from 1926 Also in the Photokatalog for Labour badges 1920-1940: p158 Jan

The second one from the left, strangely resembles the Mongolian 30th anniversary of the Victory over Japan medal, but suspended on a cloth ribbon, rather than on an enamelled plate. The third might be the Bulgarian 30th anniv of the GPW medal. If you look closely, you can see there was even another row beneath this one Jan
