Well, this "late" type 4.1 looks exactly like "early" type 4.1 to me. January 20 is not late enought?! In that case we have another type 4.1 badge that was issued on November 30, 1945. After the war!!! Badge number 66914! Issued to Private 1st Class Kuwahara Susumu

"Little green men territory" ... I should look it up in my atlas Taiwanese historian Chuk Hong-ming also wrote a book on the history of our medal

Here we have a couple of such late badges. First came from January 20, 1945 Issued to Superior Private Inehara Shotarou.

Privately (?). The sum (according to the rumors) somewhere between $1 000 000 and $4 000 000. The family members deny these rumors

"They" say order of Mihály I was sold in 2009 (?)

Don`t worry ... This baby is still in the right place

Shocking news! Like Order of Victory... As far as I heard it was sold for a couples of mill's

I am sooooooooo exited! Solid provenance! "Grave robbers from SpinkChina part II" Soon in the theater near you!!!

Very professional move! But even more professional would be "rarity without price estimate"

Well, according to the article 8 of Protocol № 176 from January 30, 1947 they really shouldn't have any numbers on their shiny reverses :)

That's a good one! :lol:

Not to me To Peterson maybe... Indeed he wrote (p.87, 3rd edition) that "badges struck late in war are made of a cheaper alloy". Personally I've never seen these badges and don't know anyone who does. But one thing I know for a fact - badges that were issued "late in war" (I hope date January 20, 1945 will sound late enough) were struck in silver. Tell you the truth I don't know where James got this info ...

Of course! Hopefully (with the lapse of time) these badges will be added to our gallery

By the way chaps, just in case you didn't know that info Total number of awards for "Hungary mutiny" according to the "main" decree from 18.12.1956 HSU 26 Lenin 37 Red Banner 574 Kutuzov 1st class 5 Bogdan 1st class 8 Suvorov 2nd class 4 Kutuzov 2nd class 18 Bogdan 2nd class 16 Suvorov 3rd class 22 Kutuzov 3rd class 20 Nevsky 130 Red Star 3214 Order badge of honor 20 Slava 3rd class 922 Medal for bravery 2765 Medal for military merit 2861 Medal for labour merit 5 :cheers:
