Dolf Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) No problem, Dolf, just glad (realy glad) to see you over here!!Help us disentangle all the mysteries of Mongol awards, please. We know so little. It is fun! (I shall be asking the fabled Dr. B about this this summer.)Ed,Thank you.I can try my best, but you already have a member who has a great knowledge about Mongolian awards for which I really fall in love about some 3 years ago. I'm talking of Jan (vatjan) to whom I owe most of the little bit I know. Thank you Jan! Regards,Dolf Edited February 8, 2006 by Dolf
Dolf Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Dolf,The reason that I asked is that I have one(Guard's Badge) from the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Belarus. I have another coming in from the New Russian Govt as well. I was given the Cuban badge by a vet who made it to the USA! I would love to find all of these badges from the nations that had them. Thank you for your help!REgardsPaulPaul,You're right, I forgot about the Cuban Guards Badge. I had seen it already so I knew the Cuban Army also must have some kind of Guards military units, but completely forgot when replying earlier.But I didn't know of other Guards Badges from other countries, including Belarus!All 3 Guards Badges I have on my collection, that I mentioned on my PM, are from the Soviet Red Army, btw. 2 from the WWII and post-WWII period and 1 more recent.Last year I visited a couple of Russian Navy ships (a battleship and a cruiser I believe) that stayed here a few days, and they had some Guards aboard. They were all wearing their Badge, the more recent type (but not the new Russian Federation one), and I was happy to take some pics Anyway, these Guards Badges are very nice indeed! Regards,Dolf
Stogieman Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Speaking of the Red Combat Banner... Alexei Merehzko just posted up a great big batch of new Mongolian Awards on his website!

Ed_Haynes Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Here is my collection. It is the first time to post them together.1st, s/n 18592nd, s/n 2983rd, s/n 60Thanks for this. Could you show us close-up scans of the reverses, please. Welcome to the forum and to our little Mongolian ger.
Guest Rick Research Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 again, just BASIC descriptions without the "hard" information we despersately seek as collectors--nothing about numbers awarded, makers, and so on-- just text descriptions of what each type of badge looks like--which we already know from looking at them!

Damn - not a lot of progress the last 16 years since this booklet came out then
Guest Rick Research Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 No. That's what I was hoping for too.Well, it was a pioneer work for back then-- ad collectible now in its own right for that reason, like the 1960s and 1970s reference books that are waaaaay outdated for information value now. I had hoped with his inside-the-Soviet-system connections before things fell apart that there might have been some "secret" information as to award numbers and so on.
