I would go with your idea, that this badge could be post ww2. Thanks for your help! BR, Chris

According to my friend, it's non-magnetic, tombak / nickel plated. BR, Chris

Thanks a lot anyhow! Could it be 亲爱精诚", as another member guessed? School motto of the famous Huangpu Military Academy in China? But the combination (HK music club) and any Military Academy doesn't make sense... BR, Chris

Gents, A friend asked me for my support for attached badge. Although I can read Japanese characters, I'm suffering in identifying this inscription. Based on my limited knowledge, I would assume that this badge could be kind of Sympathy Badge with respect to the Kuomintang (judging the design of the middle star). Could it be in relation to the Chinese Huangpu Military Academy / some Hongkong Association? I’d appreciate any feedback, which might help identify this badge. Thanks and br, Chris

Thanks a lot, Gunner 1! I found the British Battles and Medals (7th edit) for a very fair price and ordered it.

Gents, Any recommendation on British Campaign Medals? I only know following sources: British Campaign Medals 1815-1914 from Peter Ducker (2008) British & Empire Campaign Medals - Volume 1 & 2 from Stephen-Philip Perkins. Are these books worth it? Any other (recent) sources? Thanks and regards, Chris

Gents, This one puzzles me- any ideas? Could it be oriental or asian nature? Sorry, there are no pictures from the inside. BR, Chris

Thank you all, especially Komtur! BR, Chris

How about a MEZ? BR, Chris

How about some "Offical", e.g Beamter? BR, Chris

Thanks for your positive reply. Any idea about the carrer of the wearer? BR, Chris

Gents, Here is my contribution. I am not sure about the first ribbon as it could be a MEZ, a RAO, a KO or an EKII. Unfortunately (for me), nothing related to China. But a lovely bar with two battle clasps. BR, Chris

How about the "holes" (?) on the backside? BR, Chris
