It's written in the "new" Mongolian!

... and filled out in Russian (officer who signed is Russian, so is the seal).

Eddie,
Actually your doc seems to be issued in 1932, (25-7-1932, SN 865?, see left hand bottom corner). Are you sure this is a Khalkhin Gol doc?

If it is from 1932, this limits the number of possible awards it might belong to.

1) Order for Military Valor
2) Order for Civil Valor
3) ? First type of the "Distiguished Employee of the State Security Services"?
4) ? First type of the "Distiguished Herdsman of the MPR" ?
5) Another (so far) unidentified badge

PS: 3 & 4 are, according to Herfurth, founded at the end of the 30's

Hi Jan,

No I'm not sure if this is a Khalkhin Gol doc or not, it was being sold as one though, together with the badge. If that is the date it can't be the correct one though obviously.
Would the date and Serial number be hand written on the award document?

Eddie.

[vatjan]

Yes, date and number would be handwritten. You will notice on the doc in cyrillic alphabet, that I posted, that in the top righthand corner, there are a space for the date and number. In this case it is not filled out. The words however correspond, with what I have found on other docs to be the date and number.

I noticed now, that in both docs the printed number 29 is present, so maybe there might be a similarity. Um, the plot thickens, dear Watson.

By the way, how much did they ask for the badge+doc?

Jan

[Taz]

Thanks Jan that's very interesting. ;)
To be honest I'm not sure how much the asking price was. If I remember correctly it was on a Homepage were you had to inquire about the price if you was showing an interest in the item.
I can't really make head or tale of the doc I posted, if it was upside down I probably wouldn't notice ;) But I would certainly take your word for it if you think it is an incorrect doc.
I see what you mean about the 29 it's on both.
Eddie.

[vatjan]

OK, to get things straight, what have we got so far:

1 doc Uighur alphabet
1 doc Cyrillic alphabet

and...

1 medal with the inscription in the Latin alphabet :confused:


Curious fellows these mongolians :rolleyes:

Gents, a new acquisition. A Christmas gift from my loving wife: a Halhingol badge. For your viewing pleasure.

Danny, I don't want to be the grinch, but take it back immediately. I've never seen a badge with such such neon colors on the front. Also the horseman color and style look like recent badges from the 30s and 40s that are being faked. The reverse should be bronze color, not silver and that nut (if it is not a cast copy) goes to a Bravery or Combat Service Medal - not a Khalkhin Gol. The only reverses I've seen are the mirror reverse and a smooth reverse, but they've both been bronze. IMO this is a fake.

Sorry.
