gabatgh,
I think it may be a 'Manchukuo Occupation. An Order of the Pillars of the State, 4th Class'

1812 Overture,
Thanks for your comments.
I have a few unanswered questions in regards to this medal and clasp. Firstly, I am not sure whether this medal is pre 1935 or not. Is does not have a silver hallmark on the rim, or the maker L.Chr. Lauer at the lower left of the Reverse of the medal. I believe that Paul Meybauer made some but I do not know whether he produced the silver version and I am unsure whether this is a Meybauer produced medal anyway. Any answers to these questions are most welcome.
Regards,
Graham

laurentius,
I hope this what you are looking for, I have circled a few of the areas of interest:
This is what I first thought to be a 'BMVO3X'!!! but as you can see it is actually is a BMVO4X that has been gold plated. The flames are cast as part of the Order.
This is a BVMO3X which has gaps between the cross arms and the flames:

VtwinVince,
I have seen both Jakob Leser and Gebrüder Hemmerle BVMO3X's. Not sure if there were any other manufacturers.

1812 Overture,
Very interesting photo. Some links to a website which has some information on these medals: -
https://www.omsa.org/franz-joseph-bravery-medal-1859-1866/
https://www.omsa.org/franz-joseph-bravery-medal-1866-1915/
The soldier in the photo does not look old enough to have served in both the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 (in which he could have received the left facing Franz Joseph bravery medal) and in World War One (in which he would have had to have served to receive the Karl Troop Cross which was only instituted from 13th December 1916).

Humberto,
Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar was the Ottoman governor of Sidon at the siege of Acre who was in charge of the successful defense of that city from 20 March until 21 May 1799, aided as Barry has written by the British Naval Captain Sydney Smith.
