Stogieman Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 If anyone knows of a place where I can send clear scans of these pages to get a translation, please PM me and I'll give it a go, even if it involves a fee. Thanks! Rick
Ed_Haynes Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Here's another document, just the "juicy bits".Inside front cover:

fjcp Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Hi guys,The badge is indeed the Partisan badge, and not anti-partisan.The one in Dr B's book is a unique piece with this special "recycled" metal reverse.Hope this helpsJanI just got my badge in and and interestingly mine also has this "recycled" reverse. The serial number is #77 and the one pictured in Dr.B's book is #89.
Vatjan Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Hey, that's great, congratulations.Well, no unique piece for Dr B then, but a new confirmed sub-variant with lowest known serial #77-highest #89 Edited March 25, 2006 by vatjan
Ed_Haynes Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 So . . . does this now mean something like this?Type 1.1 (screwback, numbered); Low = ??/High = 37Type 1.2 (pinback, numbered); Low = 4/High = 574Type 1.3 (pinback, numbered, made of ?recycled? materials); Low = 77/High = 89Type 2 (screwback, unnumbered)
Ed_Haynes Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 PS- I find these implicit "numbers issued" interesting, as, historically, there weren't more that 500 partisans with Sukhbaatar (commander) and Choibalsan (commissar) in 1921. I profoundly doubt all of them lived to get these badges (in the 1940s?), as Choibalsan had had his own special version of purges. Once again, we need to know much more . . . !
Stogieman Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Interesting points Ed......... is there any documentation out there as to how many of these guys actually fought?
Stogieman Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Whoops! Forgot to mention.... very neat with the "recycled" metal...... have you figured out what it was before it became a Partisan badge??
Ed_Haynes Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Interesting points Ed......... is there any documentation out there as to how many of these guys actually fought?I keep looking. The whole events gets so wrapped up in the ongoing revolutionary re-writing of history that it is hard to sort things out (especially as Choibalsan contrived to write Sukhbaatar, Demid, and all others out of history after their, ahem, "untimely deaths"). The raids on Khaigt and Urga do come across as a couple of short nasty horseback actions, kind of a "Ghengis-Khan Moment".
Dolf Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Interesting points Ed......... is there any documentation out there as to how many of these guys actually fought?Rick,My source of info tells me around 400.Dolf
Ed_Haynes Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 My pinback is the same one shown at the head of this thread.
Dolf Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 My pinback is the same one shown at the head of this thread. Ed,Which post?Dolf
Ed_Haynes Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Ed,Which post?Dolfhttp://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4519&st=27and following
Dolf Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4519&st=27and followingEd,Thanks. As it was posted by Rick I didn't realize it was yours Nice one! Dolf
Ed_Haynes Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Ed,Thanks. As it was posted by Rick I didn't realize it was yours Nice one! DolfIt wasn't then, it is now (thanks, Rick! -- it HAS gone to a good and loving home).

Am I wrong?So, shouldn't the screwback unnumbered type be Type 1.2, then the pinback numbered Type 2.1 and the pinback numbered made of "recycled" materials be Type 2.2 instead?Just my two cents,Dolf Edited March 25, 2006 by Dolf
fjcp Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Just an observation; most of the pinbacks posted in this thread appear to have a stamped serial number whereas mine and Dr.Bs both have hand engraved serial numbers at the 5 o'clock position.The stamped numbers all appear to be at the 6 postition.

I noticed that!Do we have more sub-variations here?!... My displays already lack of space, and my wallet lacks of $$ for all these variations and sub-variations... Dolf
Dolf Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 The numbering on mine. At 6-o'clock.Ed,Yours seems to be a stamped serial number at 6 o'clock as most I've seen.Apparently the exceptions are for those pinback recycle materials type, as the one posted by "fjcp" and the one on Dr. Battushig's book, C 05-R, with hand engraved serial numbers at the 5 o'clock position!Dolf
