It is my understanding that there will be a MAJOR reshaping of Chinese awards within the next few months. Watch this space . . . .

I have a fair few modern chinese orders. The ones such as the 'Hero 2nd class order/medal '& 'Military Merit/Exploit 2nd class' are stunning & use real 24c/9c gold plating respectivly & come in very well made boxes, wich are fit for a king! Wood, leather & velvet. The 3rd class merit/exploit is a painted aluminium medal with a plastic case!!!! Unless this one is for enlisted men & my other 2 are for officers. Somtimes officers get the best quality.

I will put up pictures when i work out how to use the scanning machine at my library!!!
