Bob Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) Type 1 (two piece riveted construction)Low = 13 High = 242Type 2 (one piece construction)Low = 420 High = ?======================I believe the above might need to be updated:- B's book shows 115 as a type 2; 420 would rather then be put as highest sighted- Recently 114 was on sale on eBay and this was a type 1On a different note - rumor has it recently a mongolian hero star (NOT a labour one!) was sold by one of the major western dealers! Anybody on this forum the lucky person? Edited April 22, 2006 by Bob
Vatjan Posted April 22, 2006 Author Posted April 22, 2006 I believe the above might need to be updated:- B's book shows 115 as a type 2; 420 would rather then be put as highest sighted- Recently 114 was on sale on eBay and this was a type 1On several occasions Dr B had the serial number, of the items shown in his book, changed (Photoshop) This is the case also with n?115 wich is in reality presumably n? 315 or 415Jan

Ed_Haynes Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Several years back, a type 1 Hero was sold by Igor. Does anyone remember (1) when and (2) for how much? I think Liverpool Medals also had one (same one?) once upon an age?Help for failing memory, please.
gor Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 About three years ago, as far as I remember - 14-15K, it was number 4.

Vatjan Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) Congratulations Ed, very nice piece.On top of being the rarest of the rare, and then some, it is IMHO the most beautiful Mongolian order ever made, and that's saying something.
