This is listed on evilBay. Is it real, or is it a fake?

Seen it a few times already. The red communist type ribbons were removed and these ribbons were placed instead, it seems. Nice touch with the sun on the ribbon.

Fake

P.S.

Yep, looks like somebody decided to sex it up

"Original" red ribbons can be found here (in numbers! )

Thanks, Gents. Appreciate the advise.

Does anyone have a clue as to where one could find a real one?

[JapanX]

I am afraid this is impossible since it's fantasy fake.

Your should be on a look out for pieces like this one

The Republic of China did not issue a medal to it's People who served in South Vietnam?

Tell you the truth I didn't even realize that we are talking about Vietnam War medal.

So you are interested in so-called

Memorial Medal of Honor of the Republic of China Military Assistance Group to the Republic of Vietnam

According to this source (p.751)

these medals indeed were issued, but I personally never seen one.

That would be the one I'm looking for.
