Mongolia Honorary Medal of Labor

[Ed_Haynes]

We have individual threads for most of the awards but not, it seems, tor the two most common, the Honorary Medal of Compat and the Honorary Medal of Labor. Why not start them?

What Jan and I show, subject to revision and correction, is:

A 38.1/M 21.1 - Type 1.1 (Screwback, Uigur, numbered ?No.?); Low = 214/High = 985; 1941-??

A 38.1/M 21.1 - Type 1.2 (Screwback, Uigur, SN without prefix, seperately soldered ring); Low = 1569/High = 11953; 1946-56

M 21.1 - Type 1.3 (Screwback, Uigur, SN with "No" prefix above the SN); Low = 10663/High = 10668; 19??-??

M 21.1 - Type 1.4 (Screwback, Uigur, SN without prefix, ring part of the medal); Low = 12001/High = 16525; 1961-63

A 38.2/M 21.2 - Type 2.1.1 (Screwback, Cyrillic, impressed number); Low = 16785/High = 21521; 1966-??

A 38.3/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.1 (Pinback, ribbon); Low = 23854/High = 35869; 19??-??

A 38.4/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.2 (Pinback, enameled ribbon, silver); Low = 737/High = 4892; 19??-??

A 38.5/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.3 (Pinback, enameled ribbon, silvered bronze); Low = ??/High = 23750; 19??-??

Here is a Type 38.4

[Guest Rick Research]

The "blank" reverse on that one has a ghost image of the letters from the center obverse as if this was stamped twice-- and turned over!

It will be interesting to see if this was a "Bad Monday" production batch at this serial number range or one that is literally unique!

Type 2.2.2

They get real ugly here.

[Ed_Haynes]

Type 2.2.3

Is this numbering "official" or "unofficial"??

Maybe that's why they added that ugly patterned reverse to Type 2.2.3 and Type 2.2.4??

Ed, i think, thats not too far fetched.

Dolf, yes, its my first and i love it, especially the thick green enamel, but when i see the early ones, its definately not my last one.

Nice set here - two labor's awarded to the same person - useful also for getting some dates for our researchers:)

Notice the Uighur one - person applied some solder to fix a broken suspension - gives it more character

[Bob]

A nice little set but, on the surface, nothing really exciting . . . .

Type 1.1.2, #10328

It is cased, but I do not show it here.

[Ed_Haynes]

Documented . . .

[Ed_Haynes]

. . . and a close-up of the cheerful lass who received it.

[Ed_Haynes]

The award details, 30 August 1956.

[Ed_Haynes]

And now for the surprise . . . .

Wadded up in the bottom of the box -- and totally overlooked by the seller and, therefore, not seen in detail by me until this very moment -- were additional documents.
