Is it just me or does anyone else noticed difference in dies for Red Banner #3 from RB #1, #2 & #4?
Take a look at the attached pics. For RB non-#3 groups of lines inside of each ray go all the way to touching the edge, while in RB #3 lines seem to end before intersecting with the edge of the ray.
This difference can be seen from the front as well as from the reverse of the rays.
Is this new variation?
Any idea why the die was made so different for RB #3?
Just the one arm with enamel damage? That's not too bad.
I could certainly live with that as the Combat Red Banner is something I'd really like to add (after a Kahlkin Gol badge).
Congrats, and put up a shot of your whole Mongol herd when you get a chance.

I know these are not researchable as yet but would anyone have come across any info relating to issue of Mongolian order of Red Banner for Military Valor, serial number 44 ? Any info much appreciated.
