Dolf,

Just saw these today and they are really nice-I suspect they are quite expensive?

Stephen,

Check post #12 on this same thread.

Dolf

Because it says "Dornoid Aimag" on the circlet. That is, of course, where Khalkhil Gol is located. I'd "read" the flags as saying something about the major allied participants in the battle, with the "friendship" implicit.

Ed,

Found this one with a different suspension, so I guess mine isn't right, which in such case cancel my friendship Badge theory

Dolf

I put up several in the "NIB": thread. Will dig out images and cross-post them here.

I found one, on post #60, for the 30th Anniversary of Khalkhin Gol.

Dolf

This is obviously a provincial badge, from Dornod (as would make sense). Nice and interesting.

I'm striving to find the time to get out to KG this summer, but don't think it will work.

Ed,

I thought it might be a Friendship Badge because of the two flags side by side, USSR-Mongolia.

What makes you think it's a Provincial Badge?

Dolf

PS: just checked Dr. Battushig's book, on the Provinces section, and couldn't find one single piece having a "foreigner" flag (USSR or other) on it!

Apparently a Khalkhin Gol Friendship Badge.

Posted on another thread but after all it also belongs here as it seems to be another NIB.

Dolf

I put up several in the "NIB": thread. Will dig out images and cross-post them here.

Ed,

Thanks.

I'm also posting the last one on the NIB thread.

Dolf

Rick,

Thanks. This last one is also very light and made of some cheap alloy.

My favorites are the A 60, C 24 (heavier) and I also like that Badge C 52.

Which ones haven't you seen before, apart from the last one?

Maybe someone else knows of other Khalkhin Gol related pieces?...

Dolf

As you may have noticed I'm missing C 27, Khalkhin Gol 1939-2004, so if any of you guys can help me complete this series, don't hesitate to contact me

Apart from these and the other Anniversary Medals mentioned on the 1st post of this thread, any of you know of more Khalkhin Gol related awards? If you do please post your pics here.

Thanks.

Dolf

Finally, a "NIB", but obviously related to the Battle.

I believe it's a Friendship Badge, USSR-Mongolia, but can't find it on Dr. Battushig's book.

The serial-numbered one, obverse: (for some reason my scanner doesn't seem to like gold and most of the time makes these funny light effects when scanning gold pieces )

Dolf

Funny thing about these Medals is that on the picture shown on Herfurth Catalogue (at least on the 2004 edition I have) the piece shown has 14 of those silver "rings" around the Medal, but on every other piece I've seen, including Dr. Battushig's pic A 6.4, or mine, this piece "only" has 10 of those silver "rings" around it!

Different types or variations?!...
