Ed_Haynes Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 C 06 -- Choibalsan's Best ShooterThese have been well discussed on and off in isolated threads. This is the Type 1 badge (angled rifle);I don't have a Type 2 (horizontal rifle) yet.There is variability in manufacturing over time, mainly reduction in weight. I have an older one (shown here) at 15.7 g and a leter lightweight (can we use that word in connection with Choibalsan?) at 14.15 g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
