drclaw Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks for posting the images of the Wu Bei Fu medals. The Spink April 2011 auction had what I believe to be a complete set of these. The catalogue descriptions for the different medals were: * Medal for Public Affairs and Public Service - rayed medal * Medal for Technical Superiority - rayed medal * Medal for Good Conduct - rayed medal * Merit Medal for Shooting - circular medal * Commendation Medal - hexagonal medal with Wu's portrait framed by a six-pointed star Otherwise, there's very little information in English I am aware of on these medals, i.e. date of institution, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-sk Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 And here is the medal, with the adequate "Hungarian Chess Championship" ribbon... That really makes the difference! All the best to you all, Jean-Samuel Karlen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-sk Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yes, I can consider myself lucky: 1) to have found this medal for a starter, and 2) to have been able to complete it with the right - although from a weird provenance - ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
