Order of Military Valour

Please note that the reverses in Dr B's book have been switched by accident A21.1R is actually A21.2R and visa versa

I can't recall where I found the pix, if somebody recognizes his pix and doesn't want them posted, please let me know I'll remove them

Order of the Red Banner of Military Valour #126

Interesting, is that a "duplicate" indication below the serial number?

[Lingqi]

Hi Guys, 

pls check out this variation on Ebay, fake?

I regard it as genuine. There are several items of the same type in the collections of the military museum in the Mongolian Ministry of Defense. It is provided for replacement at the time of loss at the latter half of what is called type 2.

The order shown in post #7 is a fake.

Seemingly originating from Eastern Europe, these relatively well made pieces appeared fairly recently on the market together with a number of other rare awards (Sukhe, Red Banner for Military Valour, Civil/Industrial Valour).

I saw that book on ebay too. It reminds me of good old days hunting Mongolian medals without knowing the background. Sometimes it is more exciting if there is mystery.

When I first started collecting the biggest fun and stress was on ebay... so many of us probably bidding against each other to try to get that type which was missing in our collection. Later moved on to more interest in the research/background of the recipient. Also miss the daily checking on whether Nota Bene had updated his site (with his great prices and friendly service!). The number of items 'missing' in my collection is fairly limited and the odds of getting these openings filled are slim (and expensive). Same with my Albanian collection. So, less busy with collecting but still fun and occasionally something new does pop up!:)

Soooo, did anybody here win the real one that just sold for $4850?  I topped out at an optimistic $4800.

looking at you Bob

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention (and rarely on ebay nowadays). What was sold for 4850?

I am still recovering from the hero start a few months ago so pausing on new items. Well, OK, did get several Partisan star badges in the mail this weekend - I couldn't resist! :)

Hi Bob,

 

What do you think of this one? this is the one that sold recently.

[Bob]

Looks good at first glance, and a decent price. Would have been happy to bid on it but long gone are the days of clicking on eBay each day (multiple times!)
