      If you can even find them. Right now I only know of one publicaly available for sale SB. Happy to give name of website to anyone - PM me. Equally happy to hear where else on dealers sites others may be available.

      Dr B confirmed it to me - that should give reasonable assurance:) What's more interesting: such an abundance of KG awards for sale... yet so few booklets. Perhaps they were only given until after the KG award became a medal vs. a badge?
    3. Bob
      Thanks - I now double checked with other award booklets I had (was being lazy before ) and you are correct. What the internet needs is a place to link up award booklets with awards!
    4. Bob
      FYI - pics of booklet
    5. Bob
      and last scan... what would be helpful: link to a website containing all award names in russian / mongolian script?
    6. Bob
      and number 4
    7. Bob
      and number 3
    8. Bob
      And here is scan number 2

      OK - I'll start off... have an award booklet which I'm not able to trace to a specific order. The 3 red words (3rd or 4th scan) which gives details on date / number but also on award should clarify. I understand that the word "gold" is in it... so what award is it then?
    10. Bob
      And here's the inside. The seal is of the ministry of defense.
    11. Bob
      I do have a document in my possession. Faded on the outside - probably not visible on scan but there are traces of goldish colored letters / symbols on the cover. The number 29 (i.e. 1939?) is in the inside of the booklet.
    12. Bob
      Here we go then: new low... no 342 This has got to be the most beautiful item in my collection.
    13. Bob
      Just in - pinback no 1966
    14. Bob
      Paid something like 5 euro's for it. Was more a "WHY NOT?" effect
    15. Bob
      Here you go. Please don't bombard with pics UNLESS it's a different type or if same type but new high/low. After all, I think we all know what this order looks like:)
    16. Bob
      Supposedly (but perhaps I'm not up to date) four variations: A 200 49,238 screwback, hand-engraved (mine: 44245 / 15709) B 52,404 169,768 screwback, rotating-tool engraved no (mine: 103150) C 144,726 200,305 order-type pinback (mine: 170984) D 182,119 197,517 simplified small pinback (mine... surprise: 179876) Any types I missed? Please add pic! My pics to follow for above four types.
    17. Bob
      Well, let's face it... you have to be quite a numbers fetisjist to enjoy looking at a 40th MPR just because it has a low number. Not exactly a medal which has a large "WOW" effect:)
    18. Bob
      Let's get this complete. Based on input I've read sofar, there are three variations: A 19 - 9,176 being the screwback, hand-engraved B 14,122 - 86,844 screwback, rotating-tool engraved no (mine: 18,691) C 59,906 - 60,054 pinback I've attached a pic of type B. Any types missing? Please add pics! Seperate thread to follow for 2nd class.
    19. Bob
      A working scanner makes things a lot easier... no more 1MB digital photpgraphs:) On the right: Gold (not full) - 1000 On the left: Silver - 1.370 Note, slightly different color of screw.
    20. Bob
      Finally took the old scanner out of the box and threw some medals under it. Hope the number is readable. To make the thread more interesting, I'll also add pic of my weird Lenin (50% of people call it fake (safest thing to do of course) other 50% are PMing me to offer me money because they think it's a tractor Lenin prototype)!
    21. Bob
      I have a new low for Medal-40 years of the MPR (#A43): 00565
    22. Bob
      8379853554
    23. Bob
      On one of the dealer sites (initials RG) there is one with new highest number. Also, in a week or two I'll have the new lowest number in my possession:) Pics to follow then of course.
    24. Bob
      to the end...
    25. Bob
      and now for the booklet...
