Dolf Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 J 02 Flatback, S/N 1806 (at 7 o'clock).Weight: 15,60grObverse:DolfPS: Notice that all weights given here are without the screwnuts! Anyway, amazingly the screwnut of my #4450 is much bigger than all the others, so not sure if it's the right one, even if it was modified it must have been a long time ago as revealed by the matching marks on the reverse!

Vatjan Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Dolf,I was under the impression that the back of the early series is somewhat "textured" where as the 4500 series is very smooth. Can you confirm this.JanPS: "the plot thickens" is a Sherlock Holmes quote that means that things are getting more complicated
Ed_Haynes Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Come now, is it possible for anything that has to do with Mongolian awards to get "less complicated"?!As with all other Mongolian awards, these badges deserve -- and are getting here -- a closer and more focused look that has ever taken place before.

Can you confirm this.JanJan,Oh yes, definetely true!Even if my scanner has a tendency to darken my pieces (specially the reverses with a bright silver color) I believe that is still possible to see if comparing the pic of the reverse of #4450 posted above with those of #1500 and #1806, right?PS: "the plot thickens" is a Sherlock Holmes quote that means that things are getting more complicatedOk, I see, Mr. Holmes Dolf Edited April 12, 2006 by Dolf

Ed_Haynes Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) That selfsame badge had been posted here before, but due to great recent complexities in my life it never got entered in my notes. Oops.
