demir Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I bought this Korean War Chinese medal recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Hendey Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Demir I bought a similar medal several years ago and it was later identified as a fake. I seem to remember that it was on this forum that this happened. Perhaps someone else remembers the thread, but, if not, I will try to find it later today.

demir Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Hello Brett, Maybe. There is no medal especially for Korea. Somebody selling the same item now is saying: 'Chinese Military Oppose America Memorial Medal' and there is another medal (below) on sale as:'Chinese PLA Korea War Medal' the sam medal is also called: "Medal for Anti America and Support of Korea 1951" in another website. I have to find somebody to read them. Regards Edited February 13, 2016 by demir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Hendey Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi Demir I found the thread about my medal (see link above). I wonder if anyone can add to the controversy? Regards Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
