No, I am not talking about the Grand Khaan [sic] Irish "theme pub" in Ulanbaatar (but it is nice, even though targeted on the expat community) . . .

. . . I'm talking about these.
At present I have no clue as to what is what (though friends are asking about).

Continuing the Belt Buckle theme, here is a post-1991 Mongolian Air Force Officer's Belt. The belt is a very nice quality. Got it delivered to my door for a total outlay of $2!

You can identify the officer's belts based on the color of the belt. Blue color is attributed to the army officers while green to the border troops. BTW, this kind of belt used to be worn on a parade uniform. On day-to day basis, the officers wore leather belts with simple wire buckles.

On the second image: the red fabric belt was worn by the honor guards only.
The belt buck with a horse head in the center of star is quite rare. The fabric material belt does not belong to the buckle. The buckle was used on a leather belt. It was a standard belt of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army from 1943 till mid 1950s.

I have a very rare belt buckle of the Mongolian officer. This buckle carries 1924 type Mongolian Coat of Arms (Soyombo on top of the lotus flower) in its center. It was in use by Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army officers from early 1930s till 1943. It used to be a part of a leather belt.
The photo of the Mongolian officers wearing this belt is illustrated in my book on page 22.

Photo of Corps Commander Jamyan Lhagvasuren and Division Commander Tsend taken at Khalkhin Gol front line in August 1939. Lhagvasuren is wearing the belt with the identical buckle shown previously.

Another better detailed photo of a Mongolian Ministry of Interior officer wearing the same belt (photo was shown somewhere else on this forum).
