Bob Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well he looks about as unhappy as I am that I sold documented badge #21 many moons ago... Maybe it is a case of "i kicked ass as a partisan and all I got for it was this lousy badge" This is always the difficulty of collecint, at some point it is letting go. I have been thinking last weeks about actually selling my entire Mongolian collection in a year or 2-3, paying down mortgage, and focussing purely on Albanian. Wasn't able to make up my mind, but not as "attached" to material items anymore as in the past, including my medals collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Praise the people who documented/archived things in Mongolia the past decades! Attached scan of an 800 page book with bios on the 1921 Partisans. There are two more parts to this series of 3 books with Partisan bios, am awaiting to get the other two parts as well. 700 pages of bios, roughly 5 page bio per partisan = 140 per book = 420 in total - not far off past estimates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Example of a first page of a bio Will scan this thread next weekend to see if i can place names to bios in the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Another example... notice also the partisan badge in the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 And finally, what appears to be the beginning of page after page of ukaz with names and numbers (of the badge???) Keeping my fingers crossed to validate with some Partisan documents in this thread. This could be a treasure trove of information potentialy tied to individual (if numbered) badges !!!

Bob Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Whereas this is something apparently dated from 1960: [attachmentid=21216] There is nothing in this book which appears to bear a serial number indicating that it came with a badge-- I suspect it is a "privileges" book, indicating the Old Partisan had enummerated perks on the subsequent completely pre-printed pages, Soviet style (extra pay, housing allownce, personal service priorities and so on). The design of the badge seems very very modern to me, but the enamelwork seems similar to that of the Khasan and Khalkin Gol badges. The weird soldered wire coil channel for the usual undersized flimsy pin in typical of those I see in Red Chinese awards from the late 1940s and 1950s. So how old ARE the Partusan badges? What DOES the Book actually do? And who was this recipient? I THINK I recognize his name in my book! And it would confirm nr 4 as well... more digging later!

Bob Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Finally finding the time to dig into the 3 book series with bio's on Partisans that I've had in my library for a long time. Already spotted a bio on Sodnomdarjaa (see below for a link on his background). Will post it here once translated. Believe I may have also found a bio for one of FJCP's Partisan's. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/36164-1920s-order-of-the-red-banner/page-1 Probably a wealth of information in these books and will be spending more time in them the coming months to try to link bio's to award docs in my collection and others posted here. One of the interesting things I noticed is that there's also bio's of Russians in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 What I need for research is names (ideally with pics, as the bio's in my book often have pics as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Here an example of what I was easily able to find on Sodnomdarjaa in the big Partisan book. Just posting the first part of his bio, there's 4.5 pages of it (book 3, page 155) I will try to get this translated. Appreciate if somebody with better skills than me could transcribe names from other award documents in this thread. I'm happy to then look up the name in the book series and send scans of the bios.

Bob Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks - any possibility to transcribe the name for me?

Vatjan Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Unfortunately, I can't decipher the names. I could provide close-ups of the names if anyone around here is knowledgable in handwritten Uighur. Thanks anyway for the offer. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Great if you could post it and hopefully one of the other forum member can help changing the names into something I can work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
