Paul L Murphy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Paddywhack, afraid to say it is a piece of poo. It is about as appealing as the very toxic nappy my 13 month old daughter created for me when I was on babysitting duty this evening. There is a huge variety of this stuff coming out of China. Genuine Imperial Chinese / Manchurian / Korean medals were well made and die struck from good quality metals. This crap is cast or poorly struck from cheap bronze. Also the obverses and reverses are often unrelated to each other but unless you can read Chinese that is not much help. In general, stay a mile away from anything that looks like this.

Paul L Murphy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 To illustrate what I mean, here is the genuine Manchurian Enthronement Commemorative Medal whose obverse has been stolen for this monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Come on, Paul. Think again. "Poo" is too kind for this . . . thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ed, I'm not sure. Poo can be pretty bad, especially when it comes shooting out of the end of a 13 month old baby ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
