knightcat129 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hello, amyagkiy, could you please post the picture of the back side of this medal? I am a Chinese and I can translate the words for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 While I can't recall anything remotely like in in the two books I use, shall look again, but I also cannot read the language. Frankly, this think feels all wrong, from the general motif to the suspender, but Chinese ODMs always hold surprises! Still, it looks like an "EBay Special" to me!

The medal looks like a Mao badge, but Mao badge never has a suspension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medal looks like a Mao badge, but Mao badge never has a suspension! My thoughts exactly. An unenameled (unfinished?) Mao badge mounted up for eBay consumption?I love Mao badges in their own right, but . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley1965 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 So, this is a genuine medal/badge?!! Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Somehere, at the core, may be something that was once real. But, as far I am concerned, this present misbegotten concoction has the distinctive odor of a 30,000-year-old "1,000-year-old" egg.Just my RMB 10.

knightcat129 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) So, this is a genuine medal/badge?!! DocI don't mean it is genuine. The suspension was used for a campion medal and some provincial labor model medals in 1950s as far as I know. But I haven't see any so called "Mao badges" using this kind of suspension. By the way, even if it is genuine, it usually doesn't worth much. 10 RMB maybe enough, as ED said. The Chinese order collectors are interested in three kinds of orders, each have 3 classes, which awarded in 1955 as PLA stared to carry out its millitary rank system and were designed and manufactured in Soviet Russia. Those three kind of orders are: Order of August 1st, Order of Independence and Freedom and Order of Liberation. The cheapest kind Order of Liberation, 3rd, is worth thousands of RMBs at the monent.

Ed_Haynes Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Just on the surface of it, any medal showing Jiang Ji?sh? (a.k.a. Chiang Kai-shek) and hung from the CLASSIC fake PRC medal suspension just smells bad from the first glance. A medal like this could get you killed BOTH in China and on Taiwan if you wore it?Smells of more eBay GARBAGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) The pendant is from the Republic of China's World War II Commemorative Medal (although it should be bronze). Everything above the pendant is from PRC-era parts. Edited October 6, 2006 by JBFloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
