    1. Dear Gentlemen,

       

      "I venture to guess that you have a very interesting and beautiful collection."

      I find yours to be more interesting and beautiful than mine.

      I limit myself to collecting from 8th through 4th class, occasionally 3rd class (only three), and never above.

       

      To continue with two "Order of the Sacred Treasure" with the "ナ / na" hallmark.

       

      a 7th class:

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

      *Chihli-Shantung / Zhili -Shandong

      This one has the ribbon of the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure!

      There are no identical center pieces with the tiger.

    4. Dear Farkas,

       

      Thank you for taking the time to explain exactly how to interpret the ribbon bars.

      Your work is greatly appreciated.

      I purchased this ribbon bar because of the combination of OBE and MM. I found it pleasing.

    6. 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:

    11. 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."

       

      The badge:
