Mongolia Attributed/Documented Mongolian Groups

Close up

any (ANY!) translation help would be appreciated

[Bob]

What I was TOLD was the right document for the inventors medal, but i suspect the badge should match a different one (posted later)

[Bob]

Interior of what I think is NOT the doc belonging to the inventors medal

[Bob]

The RIGHT document (I think)

[Bob]

Interior spread off the inventors medal document... some of the wording on the medal and the doc are EXACTLY the same and the first page (previous post) matches the badge as well. The document also has a "fancy" thread on the outside.

[Bob]

Another of the big documents

[Bob]

And another one...

[Bob]

And last two scans (for now) of the socialist competition big document

[Bob]

Last one, now diving into the big blue book of names!

[Bob]

I have in my collection.

Excellent Sparks

Love seeing these - can never get enough! Besides, more documented numbers is always useful to expand the database:)

[Ed_Haynes]

Quite

[Bob]

Bingo!

For the large group, I've found in the big blue book the bio related to the merit medal! Page 662. It gives the date of awarding (1981-07-09) which matches with the date in the document I have and it also provides a number (233) which appears to be a decree nr (there are more awardings of the same award on that date).

Remember, this merit medal is organized in "groups" in the book... presumably categories such as art, science, etc. - and the 233 represents a decree I believe cutting across those categories.

First - matching pics: bible vs. polar star doc

[Bob]

Second - the bio!

ANY translation help (full, literal translation please) would be much apprecaited!

[Bob]

And the "category" in which this award was given (any translation help?)

[Bob]

- Outstanding Construction Worker of Mongolia Badge (NB mentions quite some detail: made of German silver, goldplating and enamels. Hungarian manufacture)

Suspect the country of manuacture is derived from the reverse of the suspension which - at closer inspection - actually shows a small mintmark:

- an "m", a line below it, and a "w" below that

- below this sign, the word "MET"?

Scanning the blue bible... page after page... to find this person

[Bob]

And another one, a documented group of badges belonging to an Honorary Contruction worker (welder) Yondon Tovuu.

Alexei mentions his bio is published in the Mongolian Directory on Heroes of MPR, Labor Heroes and People's and Merited Title holders so will have to look that up later. Maybe somebody can help translate. The group includes:

- Outstanding Construction Worker of Mongolia Badge (NB mentions quite some detail: made of German silver, goldplating and enamels. Hungarian manufacture) which comes with a blue hard cover document hand signed by Minister of Construction of Mongolia Mr. Pleihan. Awarded in 1976

- Badge for 60th Anniversary of Mongolian Construction Sector. Made of brass and red enamel. Awarded in 1986. Comes with a paper back document with an original ink stamp of the Ministry of Construction.

- Badge for Leadership in Socialist Competition of the 5 Year Plan. Awarded to in 1974. Comes with a paper back document bearing an original ink stamp on the Ministry of Construction, signed by the Minister.

I THINK (but not sure) I've found this guy in the blue bible as well (page 492 on top) but will keep scanning to reduce uncertainty... pics in a minute. The surname looks currect (Tovuu), not sure about the first name. Perhaps in my doc's it's abbreviated.

Congrats Bob, I?m Glad that this group went to a good home....

I know that you were dissapointed after the last group got away.

The catagory of the merit medal is for ?industry? ( I think), but I can?t check right now since my books are 3000km from here.

I?ll get back to you in a week or so!

cheers

JC.

those groups are astounding and a pleasure to view, thanks Bob!

[Bob]

And now for an incomplete but very documented labour (a politician i suspect) group.

Haven't decyphered the chaps name yet. First the group of awards itself.

[Bob]

Then, the big overview... this guy has more "mandat"/deputy booklets than I can handle! 52 documents in total, all to one and the same person.

[Bob]

Give a shout if there's a specific document you'd like to have a close-up shot from. First, some pic's of the man himself mixed with a few doc's. In chronological order. His first award was the Soviet victory medal (famous unit 9999 as mentioned elsewhere on this site).
