Looks like badge of unknown civil association the name of which started with 土. Marked "pure silver" and "gilded".

Conversion of orders, medals and badges into obidome, belt buckles and brooches is practically Japan's national sport See https://asiamedals.info/threads/brooches-japanese-orders-and-badges-converted-into-jewelry-belt-buckles-obidome-etc.12302/

Somebody converted beautiful mint-made medal into belt buckle. For details see https://asiamedals.info/threads/30-years-of-russo-japanese-war-sommemoration-medal-a-k-a-admiral-togo-commemorative-medal.23778/

Damn, your Google-fu is strong ?

By this photo mark is unreadable. Does it look like this one? https://asiamedals.info/threads/orders-of-rising-sun-with-mark.15057/

Yes, in russian Романов Владимир Николаевич.

Yes, 3rd class badge. Looks like 1910s-1920s vintage. Any marks?

Red Army soldier Romanov Vladimir Nikolaevich. Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_"For_the_Victory_over_Germany_in_the_Great_Patriotic_War_1941–1945" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Soviet_campaign_medals

Yes, different additional markings are also known. Like "101", "combination of hieroglyphs", etc.

Smaller badges in two different stamps. Nice

Yangtze river crossing commemorative badge/medal. You will find all info (even in russian) about it here https://asiamedals.info/threads/commemorative-medal-for-the-victory-in-the-1949-yangtze-river-crossing-campaign-1949.23746/

All groups (excerpt one in the left upper corner - it has a chance) in this photo are put-together fakes.

You will find information about this one here https://asiamedals.info/threads/early-membership-badges-of-saiseikai.23740/ Best, Nick

Original document for the China Incident Medal. Document dated March 16, 1938. Since medal was created by Imperial Edit No. 496 only on July 27, 1939 we are dealing with posthonemous awarding. March 16, 1938 is the date of soldier death. Medal was awarded to army transportation corps superior private Kobayashi Shūichi.

The only correct way of writing Чернышёв is Chernyshov. Regarding this "General Poroschenowitz". There is no such name in the 1813 general's list or in 1830 list. So this must be some mistake with the rank or name or with both.

Original 3rd class St.Anna in gold made by Albert Keibel workshop somewhere between 1882 and 1899. Ribbon is a modern replacement. Same goes for the medal bar.

Well, somebody would say that it's all a bit surreal. In fact this "somebody" ain't seen nothing yet. "Thank God for google", so to speak https://gmic.co.uk/topic/79333-jäger-bn4/ Personally, I think we're all very lucky to have you shining on us with all this insider info. It's a hell of an experience ???

It was a rhetorical question.

This is not all the information you have. You also have original criteria for awarding. Why Swedish? John Thompson (see post #2) will do just fine. Here comes a close-up of his medal. So what for and when he was awarded with this medal? Thompson transferred to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Parachute Brigade in 1969 and five years later in 1974, together with his Brigadier, gained the rare distinction of being presented at a parade with the Republic of Korea Service Medal on the completion of a one-year posting in Korea on a Commonwealth Liaison Mission. P.S. A little add-on for the owner of the medal in post #1. Medal in the first post was made in Korea (american-made medals are also known). Original cases for such medals look like this one. Korean-made medals have 38th parallel demarcation border (on all american-made medals that I am familiar with this feature is missing). Obverse of typical american-made medal.

All medals/medal groups in this thread excerpt for those that stand in the first two posts have nothing to do with medal in discussion. Korean war veteran with this ribbon bar? It is hardly possible.

You see I've been familiar with this medal for slightly longer than 11 hours ? Guess that's why I know who (and for what) was awarded with this medal. This information came straight from original 1974 medal regulation (2nd article) and above mentioned site doesn't have it (for some unknown reason since owner obviously familiar with original regulation). As for your "manly" outburst. Well, I'm not really surprised. In fact after this thread https://gmic.co.uk/topic/77976-help-with-identifying-a-chinese-medal/ I doubt anything would surprise me. Good buy and best of luck with the google.

Simply unimaginab­le. Sorry, guess I'm not manly enough to adress to you directly ?

My previous comment does not refer to your knowledge or content of any of your posts. Regarding "hospitals" and "combat troops". This medal has nothing to do with the Korean war 1950-1953 in the first place. Naturally.

A clear illustration that "instant googling" can't be a good substitute for the basic knowledge of regulation. Medal was established in 1974 in order "to award foreign military personnel serving in the Republic of Korea". More specifically to award those "who has served for more than six months in foreign military units stationed in the Republic of Korea (including the United Nations Forces), the Military Armistice Commission, embassies or other [foreign countries] institutions ... ".
