Very nice one Bob.

After reading all threads, I am not very convinced that No.99 is a fake. 

As you can see, there is a mode/tool Mark at 9'oclock. 

Is the fake one also made from the original mode/tooling? 

Thanks for sharing again, David. it is a text book collection. 

Now I have a number of 15 

very impressive collections thanks for sharing, David

Thanks Bob, 

I bought a few other lots of Mongolian medals and badges, two of them are low serious numbers. 

The final prices of some items seem reasonable, made me felt like good old days. 

Hi Guys, please help with this one bought from a recent auction. 

there is no mint mark, is it authentic? 

There is another sold at a higher price with a mint mark. I didn't win on this one 

Just release that No.136 is the one on our textbook...I should have offered higher price. 

Good price as well

Thanks Sampo, 

It is very helpful, I bought this from a second hand shop for 30 Australian dollars. 

The fun part is always trying to find out the story behind the medal. 

Regards,

Lingqi

very cool medal. It is an eye candy to me. 

I couldn't read what is on the medal, please help. 

Based on the wear and tear, the metal seems broze with silver plated. 

Is it rare? Thanks

Really appreciate all of your kind help...

Interesting to see that Battushig book which startes the mongolian collecting craziness is now offered for 250 usd on ebay

I saw that book on ebay too. It reminds me of good old days hunting Mongolian medals without knowing the background. Sometimes it is more exciting if there is mystery. 

good one.

These are also fake.

Really, it seems very good quality? 

How possible? People making these fakes need to sell a good volume to make money. 

I was going to make an offer to the seller....

The two orders on Ebay

type 1.3.2 

more of these are on ebay now for the price around USD1000. Low serious number under 1000. 

not sure if these is fair price...

good work, surely we want to see more to come. I will go through my files and see if I can contribute any later. 

Hi Guys, 

pls check out this variation on Ebay, fake?

nice medal, unfortunately these type of medal has no serious number, only certificates. 

The design of the badge is a bit unusual, especially the enamel on the reverse side. The obverse is the eagle on the top, it says Class one Merit Medal with two flags. 

The round one it is also Class one medal with four characters which I couldn't read. 

I think they could be authentic. Thanks for sharing. 

I wish I knew this earlier, a few were sold at bargain price. lucky buyers.

Hello GMIC member Lingqi,

Like you I've been a collector of Chinese medals for a while, 29 years for me. This is listed in Barac, but I've not seen one in person before this specimen. Based on the Ebay pics, may we have your opinion of genuineness please? Only price has been discussed here, but authenticity concerns me more. Paul, your thoughts too please?

The same seller has a Tsao Kun medal for sale now also at Ebay. The reverse colors seem most unusual.

Regards, Frank Draskovic

Hi Frank, some part of enamel seems repaired particularly the white enamel on the left hand side flag. This part looks to me thicker than the red and yellow ones above. So it could be repaired before. Apart from that, the medal itself looks authentic to me. 

Yes, it is indeed. It is from a flying school. 

Hi Petro,

The badges you posted mainly from China, some of them are warlord period, some of them are from Taiwan post 1949, some of them are issued by P. R. China (post 1949). Some of them are from other countries like Japan, Korean and some other country.
