- inventor medal but 239

- honorary worker of state prosecution 0241

- 50 years of industrial combinat... number 2!

- the honorary badge .... 266

As mentioned, I'm going to do a thorouh review of my entire Mongolia collection over the weekend - will seeif more comes out of that.

Just received another honorary badge but nr 491 (rotating engravement). I suspect the suspension may be wrong though... it actually is different in shape. What is interesting is a small mark on it... an M with a W below, and then MET.

Done, but don't believe it gives much detailed info.

Here's a document...

J?ger Schott des bayrischen J?ger Regiment 15

Speaking of the 15th, will be posting the Tamara award doc for J?ger Schott des bayrischen J?ger Regiment 15 which i won at a German auction.

any possibility of learning more about who this was?

one for sale on zeige now

1400 Euros...... somebody is happy!!!!

Bob did you get this one from the San giorgio Aste auction?

JC

Not sure - sometimes i lose track of what i bid where. I did put a bid in and 1400 sounds like it might have me winning. Will wait and see what i get in my mail.

Sorry, Bob. But that was my fear (as I said on e-mail).

Hi Ed, i didn't receive your email. The internet gods must be playing tricks.

On nr 99, seller just confirmed it's a quality fake

A close-up. Phaleristic porn.

There's a numbered one (no 10) on paretski's site. The price was a bit of a shocker though. Almost 13k (no, not dollars...)

I've always wondered, was there any real practical point towards these batons? I can only imagine it being annoying to walk around with such a "stick" on one hand all day. Any thoughts?

Appreciate thoughts from forum friends on this one

Anybody tried (with success?) to get information from the archives? If so, how?

I have a numbered hero of labour which I'd love to get researched

Yes. The lowest recorded pinback is still 813 (with 788 the screwback high, so we have a narrow "window).

Aha, that's the post I was looking for:)

Just had a pinback 816 offered to me. Near miss:)

In above thread!

Could it be they changed the screw because the owner lost the screw plate?
