Bob Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've accumulated quite some loose ribbons over time and have "allocated" them to various boxed / documented / group awards to make those sets more "complete" for display purposes.This leaves me with a bunch of ribbons for which I have no direct use at this moment and I am willing to trade (not sell!) them for ones which I am still looking for. Shoot me a mail if you see anything interesting AND have an interesting ribbon to trade it for.I am looking for:- Sukhbaatar (brass / cloth)- Order of Red Combat Valor (cloth)- Order of Combat Valor (cloth)- Medal of Khalkhin Gol (seperate, so not on a ribbon bar)- Medal of Unselfishness- Medal of Friendship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 looks almost like cloth under plastic - first time I've seen that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I associate the wrapped thread approach to ribbon bars with the Middle East, mainly with Syria. This is the first time I've seen this ribbon bar treatment for Mongolia. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Sold to me as Mongolian, but only the first one seems Mongolian to me (Order of Combat Valor). So, where's the rest from? Or is this a fantasy piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15730Let's see what comes out of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) An awesome piece indeed! It is genuine I think.The ribbons I have been able to identify are:1. Order of Combat Merit2. "60 Years of the Mongolian People's Revolution" Medal 3. "70 Years of the Mongolian People's Revolution" Medal4. "80 Years of the Mongolian People's Revolution" Medal5. "60 Years of the Armed Forces of the MPR" 6. ?? (possibly Mongolian Armed Forces LSM - 20 years)...12. USSR: Jubilee Medal "70 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR"It is possible that the other ribbons are Mongolian too. It seems that Mongolia has many more ribbons for their decorations than we know.#8 seems to be a civil defense decoration. I have no idea what it is, I'm guessing from the symbol.Best,Lukasz Edited March 5, 2007 by Lukasz Gaszewski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks Lukasz,More Mongolian ribbons than I realized apparently. Will have to double check Dr B's book because I did scan through it and don't recall seeing indications for all those ribbons but then perhaps you are correct indeed there are more ribbons than we know.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2430...mp;#entry153904Cross-reference to the main Mongolian ribbons thread.

Guest Rick Research Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm going to move this into the Mongolian section, since it sure looks like this is a MONGOLIAN mystery and not an Unknown Countries mystery.Might these unknowns be post-Communist political party or new ministerial awards? The triangle one MIGHT be related to the illustrated Order of Freedom Justice & Unity of the Social-Democratic Party of Mongolia???.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I noticed last night arriving at the Ulanbaatar airport that the one customs/immigration officer who was wearinbg ribbon bars (who also had a nasty quality late variety border guards badge) was wearing the plastic domed variety of ribbon bars, similar to many of the specimens shown here. When were cloth ribbon bars ever worn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 The only "official" ribbon bars are the cloth ones. (Since the ending of the lovely enameled ribbons.)The domed painted plastic ones are all non-regulation, private purchase items, made up by free-lancers who don't know much about ribbons or medals. They are a "style" statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Another nice pre-1961 effort at reproducing enameled ribbon bars under lucite. This with two Honorary Medals of Combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Ahhh, what a and yet the 1946 Medal is ahead of both the Soviet Victory Over Japan AND the Mongolian version.Aaaaaagggggghhhhhh. It drives my neat and orderly desire for proper precedence regulations crazy!!!!! r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
