Original Items. Offered here are two authentic 1970s Mongolian Combat Veteran Badges, representing slightly different production variations distinguished by noticeable color tone and minor size. Both were officially awarded to veterans who participated in the Second World War, the 1939 Khalkhin Gol battles, and the 1945 Soviet–Japanese War. These badges were conferred only upon verified combat participants, making them deeply personal awards tied directly to Mongolia’s most important 20th-century military campaigns.

While the overall shield design and inscription remain consistent, the two examples display subtle but collectible differences. One variant features brighter tones with a more vivid blue field and slightly larger overall dimensions, while the second shows a deeper blue coloration and marginally smaller profile. Such distinctions are typical of socialist-era production runs, where manufacturing batches, tooling adjustments, and finishing processes often resulted in small but meaningful variations that seasoned collectors actively seek out.

Both retain their original pin-back fastening systems, correct for 1970s state-issued examples, and show honest age patina consistent with authentic veteran-worn pieces. Variant collecting within Mongolian military awards has become increasingly specialized, and acquiring two side-by-side production differences from the same issue is uncommon. For collectors focused on Khalkhin Gol history, WWII-era Mongolian participation, or broader Cold War decorations, this pair offers not only historical importance but also a refined opportunity to study and preserve production diversity within an officially issued combat veteran award.
