Vatjan Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Do you have a pic of the reverse of n? 25,161?I'd like to update my list, my highest sofar was 20008, but I only update if I have picture proof.Thanks in advanceJan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Ooo pretty enamel ribbon bars oooo Excessively fussy designs though. Were these always worn as singles, or can they be found mounted in rows?I don't collect Mongolian... but I might collect Mongolian reeeebon barrrrz. What is the reason for the design difference in the two types of 1946 awards? Maybe the original die wore out, and higher number ones werre all (?) from a second die? Or were these issued over a long period of time?Any award documents with dates to match up with the numbers? (I wonder now about the numbered 1961 40th anniversary of the republic medals as well... a new thread subject?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vatjan Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 They can be found mounted in rows, but they are very difficult to find.The best I saw was a three ribbon bar with a large pin on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Anyone ever come up with new insight on the type 3? Have one offered for sale to me and am very tempted.Difficult. Medals are available, ribbon is available, and the late-Soviet aluminum mounts are available. Use your imagination. If you are happy with the source . . . ???

Bob Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 Difficult. Medals are available, ribbon is available, and the late-Soviet aluminum mounts are available. Use your imagination. If you are happy with the source . . . ???This is indeed the challenge - although based on photographs the quality looks quite good and it is interesting to note the lack of a serial number without any real damage (although there are ways around this I guess). The seller has a vast collection of Mongolian items and am also discussing some other interesting pieces. Fantasy piece or real, that's an interesting question. Will see if the price is right.

Bob Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 To be clear, I do not own the "foreign" one. However, and this will create some excitement among us Mongolia freaks, I have just been in contact with another Mongolia collector who ALSO has one of those foreign ones. Oh, and he bought it in Eastern Europe... roughly 35 years ago!!! Sounds to me like the benefit of the doubt should be on it being real. He mentioned the enamel looks high quality and aged. :jumping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 I took the dive and got a foreign one. May live to regret it someday, but at least have it in hand in my collection now. Scans to follow tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Took the risk, quality is comparable with a regular one. And the enamel is quite well done (very smooth on the surface for instance where i'd have expected a bump from orange to the XXV letters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
