    And just in, finally in, something Mongolian, the elusive type 2 (Battushig A 6.4). There is, of course, the 14-ring variety, but that is only shown by Herfurt.

    Congratulations Ed, good to see some interesting stuff is still to be found :jumping:

    The set.

    A shame that, unlike their "little brothers", they weren't numbered. And, by the way, the first two are screwback, the third pinback. Varieties or just a fashion statement?

    Hi Ed, nice find. Any clues as to dating the different styles more precisely than above??

    Not at present, Rick. As these are (1) unnumbered and (2) almost never documented it is difficult. I am trying to sort these out with Bat, but it hasn't been easy. We now have a nice book (in Mongolian, of course) that lists all recipients, but there's no way to match these to the awards.

    So far:

    STATE PRIZE (CHOIBALSAN PRIZE) - 1945-62

    STATE PRIZE:

    Type 1 (silver and copper) - 1962-70

    Type 2.1 (enameled center, 10 rings) - 1970-present?

    Type 2.2 (enameled center, 14 rings, shown in Herfurth only, very suspect?)
