[Bob]

For viewing pleasure of fellow enthusiasts of this badge, am copying this from another forum where I had posted it before: group related to Colonel of the Mongolian State Security, Burentugs Oidov

The group is not complete but still very impressive and interesting:
1. Order of Sukhbaatar booklet (group came without the order, please give a shout if you have nr 1.174)
2. Order of the Polar Star, 1945 type but with serial number <500 (booklet comes with a pic of the Colonel)
3. Honorary Medal of Combat, SN 2944. However the Sn is not entered in the booklet for the Order of the Polar Star and no other booklet is included for it but i trust the source
4. Victory over Japan medal SN 40980 with a matching document
5. 25 Years to MPR Medal SN 13047 with a matching document

Unfortunately, the person who originally sold the group had split it: the group also should have come with an Honorary Chekist Badge with a document - both sold to Russians. At least I received a scan of the document.

Colonol Burentugs Oidov was a member of one of the few State Security combat groups deployed to Manchuria during the 1945 war against Japanese Kwantung Army. The group was primarily tasked to spot and eliminate Japanese spies, Mongolian and Russian traitors and bandits remaining on the liberated territory of Manchuria and Inner Mongolia.

First, pic of a booklet on the Mongolian chekists... with a 4 page bio on Oidov. Also to note, bios on 25 or so other chekists as well... at some point will have to take another look whether more badges posted here can be matched with bios!
