      This is a bit of fascinating historical architecture from old Tsingtau.  I had no idea that this building was there. 

      Where exactly in Qingdao is this building located?  Is it in the old portion of the city? 

      Yes, I don't know how to distinguish now. One hundred years ago, it belonged to the old district. Now it belongs to the new district because it is being developed.

    3. Through a bridge, the bridge built in Germany was pressed under the new bridge, bypassing a small lake and coming to the valley. There is an ancient Taoist temple.

      Ginkgo trees over 500 years old, and now have fruit

      There is spring water in the back ditch, which is similar to the spring water in Baden-Württemberg. .

      On the wall, the Chinese meaning "If you plan to wash your clothes here, please leave the water 10 meters away to avoid polluting the water source."

      Waiting for a reply. End。PS:

      Maybe you can provide more old photos to me? The interior of the house belongs to the welfare home, and I can't get in. A reporter had previously contacted a professor of “Mavili” in Germany who had been here during his childhood.:P

    4. Dear friends, in August, after many searches, I finally found out that in 1936, the German merchants raised the resort in Qingdao, the “Bai Mai House” (named after the most funded person). Here are some of my descriptions. I hope everyone likes it (although I know people here don't usually like to reply)

      There is a secret passage here, usually a dog guard, but I didn't see it on the day I went, otherwise I would have seen God.:speechless:

      These are the photos I took in August. At that time, the sky was dark and there were so many mosquitoes, so I was not exploring. Next I will send the photo taken yesterday.

      The construction workers told me that this building will not be demolished here. We must know that China’s protection of buildings is poor.

      Due to the obscuration of trees, Nazi signs were rarely found, so they were preserved in many sports in China. But after the building is built, it is hard to say. . .

      But what I don't understand is that there is no eagle.

      i think Gents would enjoy seeing the variety of reference books you have.

      Gordon asked about the one you show in this thread....   tony

      你好,再见1812年
      我认为Gents会喜欢看到你所拥有的各种参考书。 戈登询问你在这个帖子中展示的那个......托尼

      It's a container, but it's not original! But this paper box has a history of about a hundred years, and it is very broken. These days, I will send him the picture that Mr. Gordon wants to see. Thank you for your love

      At that time the Chief Police Officers in charge of the Municipal Police Forces in the Treaty Ports on the China Coast and the Colonial Force in Hong Kong ,bore the title Captain Superintendent.Hence CAPT SUPT.

      I can find no reference to " Barrett-Watts" on the China Coast at that time,detailed research into the Tientsin community at that time should reveal more.

      CRP could be Chinese Railway Police ?

      The display of the Tianjin Museum in China, interestingly, is next to the St. Stanislav Medal of the Russian Empire.

      Dear Friends,

      interesting reading, even after 5 years, since I just obtained one of these and doing some research.
      The German designation for this medal is "Silver Military Merit Medal for Foreigners" ( silberne Militär-Verdienstmedaille für Ausländer ).
      Is the year on my medal 1320? I'm not so good with arabic numerals...

      regards
      Arne

      Why is the front and back of your medal opposite? According to one of my Ottoman Imdias medals, the above figure in Arabic means 1333, which is the Gregorian calendar in 1914, so you can follow this calculation. But I feel that this one of you is in the period of the Pahlavi Dynasty, pay attention to the crown.

      The Belgium Medal makers have produced excellent quality Orders over the years, especially at the early period from 1832 till 1900. For some reasons few Orders have been made by French makers since the very beginning

      Here is my French Connection in my Belgium Order of Leopold Collection

      1. 1/2 Size Knight with French mark -"rabbit" for Silver prior to 1839

      2 Officer in 18 carat Gold with French "eagle head" mark

      3. Officer in Silver Gild with French "boar head" mark for Silver and Maker Mark "VL"

      4 Commander with French import mark "Ar950" for Silver  and maker mark "AB"

      5. Knight -not marked, however when compared with the Commander it is obvious that it could be the same maker
