Nice medal bar, Claudio. As for the japanese ribbon, most likely this is not a medal of regular member, but an order of merit. Both are using the very same ribbon without rosette.

Somebody has a vivid imagination. Looks like a typical "Mao badge". 忠 = loyal, faithful

The six class is regilded. Or even something worse.

Yes.

This is order of pillars of the state, but it can`t be 4th class badge, since 4th class should be gold gilded. So this could be 8th, 7th or 6th class (depending on the number of bars at the ribbon) badge.

Military Merit Medal 1954

Russian bronze. For those who did not participate in the battles, as well as for those who were in areas where martial law was declared. German bronze. For all participant of war in East Asia. So both bronze medals perfectly fit this medal bar.

Nice photo. Two medals are Medal for Liberation of North China 1950

Light bronze - лицам, не участвовавшим в боях, а равно и находившимся в местностях, объявленных на военном положении. Original regulation.

Chris, bronze version wasn't issued exclusively for combtants. Bronze - für alle Teilnehmer an den kriegerischen Ereignissen in Ostasien (Bekämpfung des Boxeraufstandes vom 30. Mai 1900 bis 29. Juni 1901), sowie auch für die bei der Kranken- und Verwundetenpflege in dem Kriegsgebieten tätig gewesenen Personen beider Geschlechter. Die Denkmünze aus Stahl erhielten alle Personen, welche an den Vorbereitungen zur Aufstellung und Entsendung der deutschen Streitkräfte beteiligt waren, ebenso die Besatzungen der Transportschiffe deutscher Reedereien von Truppen- und Kriegsbedarf nach und von Ostasien. Take care, Nick

Ministry of Communication order. Direct heir of this ministry https://www.post.gov.tw/post/internet/index.jsp

Correction. Not most likely, but most definitely P.S. Just in case. This is a fake breast star. Original breast star looks like this .

Most likely he has higher class (breast star) of this award from the ministry of communications. He got it during his service in China somewhere around 30s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-German_cooperation_(1926–1941) Regards, Nick

No, this is definitely not а Striped Tiger.

This is 功績章 - merits/achievements badge from 財團法人日本消防協会 - Japan Firefighting Association

It's not unusual. By the way, during WWI 36th took part in the Siege of Tsingtao.

Many thanks, Trooper

Any ideas?

No photo around. Only info that you already know 佐久間八郎Sakuma Hachirou(機11､36/62千葉).機関少佐. 1903.4/27少機関士候補生 03.12/28少機関士 05.1/12中機関士 06.1/26機関中尉 07.9/28機関大尉､浅間分隊長>第1駆逐隊機関長09.12/28宇治機関長 14.12/1機関少佐 15.12/1予備役. All involved (with the court rank above sonnin) got one. Gold versions were issued for imperial family members.

Yes, this is one of the few possible variations Both orders are correctly attributed. Both look like 100% french made.

Best, Nick
