Seems to be quiet in the Mongolian Section, so here's some eye candy.

Order of the Precious Rod 3rd class, 4th Grade.

They are soo cool! I think it's amazing that they were actually awarded after the Revolution.

A very nice order and very rare because I have never seen one for sale.

There seems to be much discussion about what they are made of. I have recently seen a 3rd class 3rd grade with a deep scratch on the back, as if somebody was testing it for metal. It would appear that it is made of gilded bronze.

Just to (1) reinvigorate an old thread, (2) reinvigorate the moribund Mongolia section, (3) remind us of long-absent forumites who were once active, and (4) provide more pretty things . . .

Order of the Vajra, 1st class, believed to be 3rd grade

Mongolian-made, probably sewed onto the clothing. Missing central "jewel".

Order of the Vajra, 2nd class, 1st grade

One only seen and (poorly -- it was cold and dimly lit) photographed while on sale for a ridiculous asking price.

And some details.
