KimKan is correct, definitely North Korean badge.

Hi Petro, Thanks for sharing, it is not common to have the original document. The medal itself is not that rare, I think the listing price is not realistic. The market in china is very soft. The people collecting medals is far less than people collecting coins and stamps. I have been collecting chinese warlord medals for over ten years and I wouldn't pay that much. Anyway, good luck to the seller.

Hi Guys, the medal is issued by " Etiquette and Custom Division under the department of the Imperial Household", this type of medal is not very rare and has no serious number, however it is made in silver. With Golden Grain, I can't help too much unless we found the official record.

I have applied, now it is pending...

interesting. It is thinner compared to normal ones? Maybe the mint run out of silver back then..

Hi All, what is current market price for pin-back and screw-back generally speaking? anyone got any idea, I only got a pin-back one cost me USD2850 probably three to four years ago.

I didn't spot this one in their catalogge. Good find.

It is a very nice and rare piece. It would be my dream to have one of these.

I never seen this before.

It is a chinese badge issued by a primary school called "zhong you xin" for a sporting event celebrating National Day in 1951.

Janice, it is good to share your stories. this is what we are attached to collection of medals.

Hi Paul, This one is the Transportation Dept. Post Division merit medal, first grade, second class. Hope this can help. Lingqi

it shall be issued by Taiwan regoin, post 1949. the suspension and medal does not match.

what is the final price? anyone knows?

No.2 WOW!

Congrats! Very nice collection. Breast star/order is the third class of Order of Cloud and Banner(no neck badge,breast star only). Just above the No73 is the mintmark, which gives you the timeframe when this order was made. This one looks to me was made before 1949, could be even earlier in 1930s. then you also have post-war type like made in 1950s till now, like JCWATER just mentioned. The Neck Badge is part of second class of Order of Cloud and Banner, which consists of one breast Order and neck badge(same on both sides).

Sun Yat-sen is not bald. :rolleyes:

Jeff, it is a nice medal indeed. The translation would be "in commemoration of Protection of Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China". From 1917 to 1922, Sun Yat-sen led against the Northern Government in Beijing. It could be one of the local warloads who were for the pretection. let me know if you would like to trade or sell this medal. Cheers, Lingqi
