Ed_Haynes Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) All I have ever gotten for Mongolian awards is the award record card.

Ed_Haynes Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 There's probably more interest in his Soviet documents.Red Star 1.I find it interesting that he signed this one in bichig, while he signed his Mongolian book in Cyrillic.
