    Good luck with your Mongolian quest but I think that the C05 will be very very hard to find now.....

    I was lucky I got into this early but I haven't seen one in over a year, maybe longer.....

    I think there are only about 400 of these out there, but you never know you might get lucky...

    Cheers

    Unfortunately have to second JC on this. I have one (unnumbered / undocumented) and haven't seen one for sale since I got it (over a year ago?) except for this past week when I spotted a documented (incl. photograph / choibalsan autograph) one for sale. Asking price >2.500 USD :speechless1: That's a lot for a small (but important) badge!

    Now the asking price MAY have been a bit excessive... but who's to say when there's no other on offer?

    My advice: grab one next time you spot one.

    Glad that I could make your Month Ed!!!!

    I too was very very happy when I finally got the thing... It took more than a bit of effort to get it and if you may remember, this picture was on ebay a while back. I tracked down the original purchaser who had the auction ended early and got it from him... And a nice profit for him too.....Worth it though!

    Choibalsan as we haven't seen him before.....

    "Type 1.2 (as above, but with Cyrillic ?B? mintmark) - Low = 1332; High = 1955"

    Ed, could you please examplify this? Where is that Cyrillic "B" located? And is that a kind of "B" but as if seen in a mirror, usually seen together with a perfect circle, as for example the one shown on Post #48 on this thread?

    Asking because if that's the case I happen to (still) have S/N 2015, shown somewhere on another thread.

    Thanks,

    Dolf

    ebay Item number: 250418436595

    "4 Orders identical people obtain. Mongolian senior general, Yu Ren Duo "

    Hmmm.... :unsure:

    Please pardon my French!!

    What a steaming pile of horse ^#$^%!!!

    He's been trying to sell those orders for years and we know that the serial numbers of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th awards all fall OUTSIDE of the awarded range....

    The seller is getting creative!!

    JC

    ps. sorry, done ranting!
