Thank you guys.

Very interesting. Especially the Bulgarian permission document.

Dear forum members, looking forward to your opinion on the authenticity of this Imperial German Wound Badge. Is it original and is it the "Gold" one?

I think the person in the middle is Sodnomdarjaa.

Some of the illustrations of the posters on Mongolian and Soviet heroes.

The set was printed in 1969 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the victory at Khalkhin Gol. The illustrations of the first two posters.

Below are the photos of the set of posters on some 20 Heroes of the Mongolian People's Republic and and the Heroes of the Soviet Union who distinguished themselves at Khalkhin Gol Battle in 1939. The posters carry the portrait pictures of the heroes, the illustrations of the heroic acts and brief descriptions of their feats. The texts are in Mongolian. The set comprises of 24 posters. Each poster measures 52 cm in width and 33 in height. The title of the set is "Glory Pages of the Combat Friendship" in English.

I think this is the same guy.

An interesting photo of a Mongolian wearing the Type1, Order of the Red Banner of Military/Combat Valor and .....? Can anyone identify the order/badge next to Mongolian Red Banner? Is it a Soviet Republican order or a badge? Sorry for the blurred photo.

The document for the Medal for Selflessness illustrated in this book (page #176) belongs to Mr. Nyam Batmunkh. He was awarded the Type 2 Medal for Selflessness on March 13, 1973 by the Decree of the Presidium of the People's Great Khural #62. At the time of awarding, Mr. Batmunkh was a private of the Mongolian People's Army. Private Batmunkh was awarded the Type 2 , Variation 1 (unnumbered) Medal for Selflessness along with the two other military servicemen. Below is the scan of his Medal Certificate, the medal front and back.

I would like to share some information on some of the documented orders and medals illustrated in my book. One of the most fascinating and story-telling awards of the MPR are the Medals for Selflessness. The Medal for Selflessness (Шудрага журам медаль in Mongolian) stands for the phrase "Just order". The archival research and memoirs of the people who initiated this medal indicate that the idea of instituting this medal was taken from a Soviet Medal for Distinguished Medal in Protecting the Public Order. One of the initiators of this award was Chief of the Ulaanbaatar capital Police Department B. Lhachin who proposed this medal be instituted as a Medal to award the police officers. The first proposed name read "Medal for Protecting the Public Order". However, the Chairman of the Presidium of State Great Khural J. Sambuu suggested to shorten the name of the medal and broaden the scope of the award criteria (to include: the feats in saving human life during the natural and man-made disasters, saving the lives of drowning people, preventing the crime, maintaining the public order, etc). Since the institution of the Medal for Selflessness in 1959, more than 1500 Mongolians and foreigners have been decorated with this medal for the personal valor and diligence displayed when saving the human lives and protecting the state/private property. Below is the photo scan of the Colonel B. Lhachin who initiated this honorable award.

Translation from Russian into English Urgent To Comrade Sambuu, Trade Representative’s Office, Moscow We have the following answers to your telegram # 119: 1) The diameter of the Combat and Labor Medals should be 36 millimeters. The diameter of 32 millimeters that you have proposed is small, taking into consideration the ornament. 2) We agree that the ornament on the red enamel that runs along the edge of the medal should be gold-plated. 3) The saber of the horseman should have sheath. 4) Bas-relief of Sukhbaatar on the Badge of the Hero should be made of platinum and if possible no more than 20 millimeters in size. It would not look good in profile but in half-turned position. 5) The shields with numbers denoting the consequent awards should filled with blue enamel. Bumtsend (Signed) Stamped with the Stamp of the Presidium of the State Small Khural of the Mongolian People’s Republic # 24

In 1940, after the passage of the Choibalsan's Constitution in Mongolia, there was a need to reform the existing award system including the design of the awards and their types. The design of all three orders (RBCV, RBLV and OPS) have been changed and two medals (Honorary Medal of Combat and Honorary Medal of Labor) and one badge (Badge of the Hero) have been newly instituted. The process of designing and manufacturing of the new orders and medals took months of back and forth between the Presidium of State Small Khural and Mongolian Embassy in Moscow (in fact with the Moscow Monetny Dvor). Below is the copy of one of the telegrams sent by Chairman of the Presidium of the State Small Khural G. Bumtsend to Mongolian Ambassador to USSR J. Sambuu at the end of 1940. The telegram had a bearing on the ultimate design of the Badge of the Hero, Order of the Red Banner of Military Valor and the Combat/Labor medals.
