Dear Gentlemen,
Here is the identification of a medal posted here:
- "Commander of the 1st Division of the Army" "Achievement Medal"
I'm unsure about the final Chinese character, but I believe it's a surname.

Dear Gentlemen,
Here is the identification of a medal posted here:
I'm not sure this medal is a "Naval Merit Medal", without a picture of the reverse to confirm it if there is an inscription.
On the obverse, one can see the portait of General Bì Shùchéng of the Zhilu Coalition Army and under it the inscription which read "Gift from Bì Shùchéng".
At 3 o'clock there is a panoply of weapons and at 9 o'clock half a ship. The reason I think is because he was, in the winter of 1925, successively promoted commander-in-chief of Jinan Defense, commander-in-chief of the maritime defense (commander of the Bohai Fleet), envoy of the Jiaodong Protector and commander of the Eighth Army.

Dear Gentlemen,
Here is the identification of a medal posted here:
- "First Division Zhilu* Coalition Army". It is more likely that this is an ID badge for the division staff, not a medal.

- There is another one, and it's a pass:
- Here is a medal "3rd class medal":
This one has the ribbon of the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure!
There are no identical center pieces with the tiger.

Dear Gordon Graig,
I know those medals.
They are sold by an Italian, a Portuguese and an American.
I don't know who makes them.
All ribbons are incorrect and they lack the name and class on the reverse, making it always blank.
So I don't think they are genuine.
Corrected:
The ribbon may have several devices but they do have a device:
Note: you can use either class A or 1st class and class B or 2nd class

It's interesting, so why not continue?

Dear Gentlemen,
Presentation of the badge of the "Agricultural Youth Union 4T" / "Đoàn thanh thiếu nông 4T".
While this badge is often identified as a military one on auction sites, it is not.
Đoàn thanh thiếu nông 4T – Wikipedia tiếng Việt
"The Agricultural Youth Union 4T was officially established on November 25 in 1955 in rural areas of the Republic of Vietnam, in order to educate youths to cultivate their bodies and minds through beneficial work for their villages. This movement originated in Long An, Dinh Tuong, Binh Duong provinces and quickly spread throughout the South. Disbanded in 1970."
