Ed_Haynes Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Smells fake/fantasy, but let me check the books to see if it is a "mule". Looks to me like Taiwanese eBay dreck.Sorry. Edited October 24, 2006 by Ed_Haynes
paddywhack Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 yup tought it could well be so not annoyed at all!!thanks for the quick reply!!
Ulsterman Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I think so too-does it sound "dull" if you let it drop onto a hard surface?Interesting the ribbons aren't cheap plastic red though-maybe a Taipei medal instead? What does the back say? USairforce?
Hugh Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Very interesting! I picked up a copy of the Chinese Order of the Precious Tripod in the flea market outside the Meiji Temple in Tokyo about 15 years ago with exactly the same ribbon (which is NOT Precious Tripod). The medal itself was a fair to poor copy, generally accurate but poorly struck.
Paul L Murphy Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 This is a fake. There is a huge range of this crap coming out of China for the past couple of years. You can buy them in Shanghai for US$1 per piece. Paddywhack has posted a similar medal in another forum and asked the same questions, where it was also identified as a fake, so I presume this was to get a second opinion ? The second opinion, well it is still fake.
paddywhack Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) hi paul! no it was just that i wasnt getting any replies at first so i posted here! hope thats ok!!!!(plus the international foum is better here!!) Edited November 12, 2006 by paddywhack
paddywhack Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 cool!!thanks for the replies to!!
Bishop Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Again... extremely poor quality fake...Even the real one would only worth a few cents...For me, the one and only WW2 KMT medal that worth to collect is:The Order of National emblem "white sun in the blue sky"Probably the most prestigious Chinese medal ever existed.Market value: untoldIt's no way to find it in the market anywhere, but there are few stored in the war museum in Taipei.I'm still thinking about how to get them without been noticed!
