usairforce Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Who can tell me what it is and now this medal price?
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 A Distinguished Rationalizer's decoration. This kind of decoration was quite popular throughout the Soviet bloc.Lukasz
Richard S Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 "Distinguished reformer", see book "A Magyar N?pk?zt?rsas?g Kit?ntet?sei", page 75Best regardsRichard
hunyadi Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Distinguished Reformer? - When I read the regulations on pg 75 its more like "Excellent Innovator" - or for someone who made an invention or for those who figured out a better process in industry, chemistry, manufacturing, etc... Distinguished Reformer sounds like Martin Luther or Karl Marxx???
Gordon Craig Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Richard S,It figures you would have a copy of that book. Can not be many of us who do. Charles and I refer to this book as "The Blue Bible".Regards,Gordon
Ulsterman Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Shows the limits of dictionaries-I had images of a girls reform institution....
Gordon Craig Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 We have answered USAIRFORCES question about price yet? ebay price would probable cost you about $30.00. Anyone else have any other ideas?Regards,GordonWho can tell me what it is and now this medal price?
hunyadi Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Sorry - had missed the part on the price we got so tied up with the name... but a fair Ebay price would be in the $25-30 range as its a complete set - add a few more for a carrying document and if there was a full size document then add another $10 or so.
decker Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 The best translation seems to be "excellent innovator".The badge is not a worthy one in my opinion. Here in Hungary you can get them for about 6 to 15 USD, though they couldn't be that common. (You had to do something more than the average for getting them, and doing something extra was not a common habit - as it isn't these days) The badge had three grades; I have one in gold and one in bronze (as I remember) with miniatures and cases, from my grandpa. The one above seems to be a silver one with the silver cover lost (or is it just me?).
Ulsterman Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 ...and the penny drops -"clink"- You mean there are different CLASSES of these badges as well?????!!!!
Gordon Craig Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Ulsterman,In the book Richard S refers to it says there are Gold, Silver and Bronze classes to this award. I have seen a number of silver ones in Flea Markets but don't remember seeing any other grades. I'll have to look this weekend.Regards,Gordon
decker Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I checked my copies and I was right - they are gold and bronze. I'll upload them today.
decker Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Here are the two classes of Kiv?l? ?j?t? I told you about (gold and bronze; click the pics for larger version):
Gordon Craig Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Chris,Very nice and thanks for posting them. It looks as though the bronze one is in an earlier wooden case and the gold one in plastic case. True? Do the cases have a design showing the badge on the outside of the top?Regards,Gordon
