Glad that I could make your Month Ed!!!! I too was very very happy when I finally got the thing... It took more than a bit of effort to get it and if you may remember, this picture was on ebay a while back. I tracked down the original purchaser who had the auction ended early and got it from him... And a nice profit for him too.....Worth it though! Choibalsan as we haven't seen him before..... JC

......

I can only imagine who the lucky man was that got this one..... On that note... any word on research??? I sent this picture to Dr.B a little while back and he was also rather interested... I think you'll see why. 1926-1931 Order of Military Valour 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th awards!!!!!!! JC

Now for the fun part!!! 2nd award #12, this one has been seen before... 1st award #4................ Ok I'm done.... CHeers JC

Ok... I'm excited about this!!!! Here are two normal looking slightly damaged ORCBs... One was cheap and one really really wasn't, but I just had to have them... Yes, I'm a serial number junky!!!! Enjoy! JC

Nothing special here except that the serial # is my birth year.... Silly I know... JC

The good stuff....

Inside Cover.

Nice Doc. Ed... Here is a recent addition of mine.... Not as interesting as Ed's doc but it hasn't been shown yet so here goes... A Doc from 1977 which means this should be for a B03. Enjoy. JC

Sorry for the bad picture but this should do.... You've got to look at the second character from the top.... So in this case you've got an 8th class.. Hope this helps. JC

Interesting badge!!! Small world, I have a Polish friend whose maiden name was Duda.... She'll get a laugh... Cheers JC

Here is an interesting article from 1959..... JC WORDS AND DEEDS IN MONGOLIA

interesting also that the second/later of the two labour orders has a lower serial number than the earlier one..... JC

Great looking group you have there Bob.... Is the last entry the one you were wondering about??? I believe that's the 40th anni of the MPR. A43 Cheers JC

Ed, I've been trying to get a better picture of these too. Here are four unnumbered medals. The suspensions are all very different and there are more subtle differences on the medals. Sorry about the bad scan but it's the best I can do right now... JC

The only thing I could make out was the date.... It's really bad handwriting which makes a difficult job almost impossible.... We all know the weird dating they used but this says 1943-10-19, and I think that's the actual date. 1953 would be too late for Uighur.... JC

So that's three of us.......... How about that green monster LOT 8307... I thought I'd put in a pretty good bid for that one..... Wrong.... 10000 EUROS!! just silly if you ask me..... JC

I sold the fellow some pieces too and he out bid me on a type 1 herder0 Doc a while back so he really should have a better grasp on the awarding dates. I thought that since I'd dealt with him before he would be more willing to arrange a few copies for us here, but he seems to be a stubborn fellow and he only wanted to sell through ebay... Go figure.... Anyway, I too worry.... The list of items that'll I'll never have is getting longer and longer...... Thanks Ed for the review and let's hope that things don't get as bad as we all fear they will. JC

Great picture but, I'm not sure why, it bugs me that he's wearing his lenins before the Mongolian orders.... JC

New high for a flatback #961

Serial# 1934 with doc. for sale right now on a Russian forum.... $4400 buy it now I believe but he won't ship internationally.... There are ways around this I'm sure.... I"ll post pictures in a bit. JC

I know!!!!! This is NUTZ!!!! I bought a 2nd award for $730 not two or three months ago!!!!!! There must have been some drunk people bidding again!!! JC

I'll have a few of these to my fellow Mongolian forum members for making this such a great place over the last two years!!! CHEERS!! JC
