Ed_Haynes Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well, for one thing, he's not MONGOLIAN. A Soviet who wandered south. Perhaps.Much doubt. PM sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yup. A Soviet infantry Major's tunic. No Victory Over Japan. No Mongolian Victory. Mid to late 1980s Mongolian MMO number, no jubilees in between.Nice uniform jammed full of holes so not nice any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think the general sense was that it was an invented set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new world Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think the general sense was that it was an invented set.It looks like put-together set of awards. Why would a Soviet officer receive a Polar Star - mostly civilian award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Indeed. Except for:Why would a Soviet officer receive a Polar Star - mostly civilian award?It was more complex than this, and the Polar Star was an award for both civilians and the military.

Sergey Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Bob, fine infantry tunic with a crimson edging. A condition on 4 points. Everything, that to me meets today in Russia is in the worst condition. Concerning the Mongolian awards there is a variant of rewarding after the termination of military service. In the sixtieth years many the Soviet experts worked in Mongolia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I think it's a put together uniform by a collector back when these awards were cheap and someone wanted to toss some awards on a jacket for display. I've already told one potential buyer to stay away from it unless the price is equal to the "parts" value of the group, so I would make the same advice here as well. I would bet money that it's not a real group.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Absolutely, Dave! I fear Rick hit the nail on the head when he said:Nice uniform jammed full of holes so not nice any more.Plus some random medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nack Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Well, the holes could have been there. There are quite a few of them though. I suppose you'd need to see it up close to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
