A group just arrived by mail (well, I'm assuming it's a group). If it is, would contain 3 orders and it comes with a fully uighuir script award booklet. No picture (and i can't read uighuir)... but there appears to be a clue in the form of a name written in Cyrillic on the inside cover of the front page. Ink is faded (and my Cyrillic isn't that great...) but it appears to be: "Cogvoi H.C."
Serial nrs:
- 516
- 586 and 2390 for the regular red banners
There's a clue on the inner page - in Cyrillic (?)
Thanks to our forum friend Urnuh (who like me wishes that the forum would be more alive! some additional information:
1) The document matches (e.g. references the serial nr 516) the Order of the Red Banner of Military Valour but does not mention the other two Red Banners (probably they'd have received separate books anyway)
2) 516 was awarded on 18 April 1943 with the decree of the Small Khural of number 21
3) The handwritten brief text on the second page states "the order is awarded for the feat in defending the nation" (hmmm combat award?)
4) The page number 3 bears the stamp of the Presidium of the Small Khural and the signatures of President Bumtsend and Secretary Bayar. On the remaining pages is the 1941 Regulation of the awards of the MPR.
5) The booklet has two full names on the page number 1. One name (unclear though) was crossed out and another added. The added full name stands for Sorkin Naum Sahanovich. This is perfectly in line with the faded inside cover writing in Cyrillic which appears to state Sorkin N.S. (or Copkin H.C. in Cyrillic) although the last 2 letters are difficult to read. Indication is that a plausible scenario could for instance be that an error was made for instance when drafting multiple of such documents at the embassy in Moscow (e.g. name copied in two booklets from a list of award recipients, so had to be crossed out).
