China 1900

[Kaiser]

Hi guys my 1st post so please be gentle i have a great interest in the China 1900 campaign (the British end anyway) but rather like the look of the German medal and the bars that were awarded for it, could some kind soul post a list of the bars official and not that one can find on the medal.

Army:

- Peitang-Forts

- Tsekingwan

- Kalgan

- Kitchou

- Fouphing

- Hophu

- Huolu

Navy , Marineinfanterie + Seebataillon:

- Taku

- Seymour-Expedition

- Tientsin

- Peking

- Liang-Hsiang-Hsien

- Nan-Hung-Men

- Kaumi

many different writings are possible because the clasps had all to be private purchased... for exemple: Nan-Hun-Men , Nang-Hu-Men , Tsekin-Kwan , Kitschou , Liang-Siang-Shien ...and so on

Some inofficial clasps... : Nankuanto , Kuan-Tschang , Chouchouang , Tschang-Tschöngling....

any questions?

No thats pretty much the answer i was looking for

Nimmergut lists the following official bars:

TAKU, SEYMOUR-EXPEDITION, TIENTSIN, PEKING, PEITANG-FORTS, LIANG-HSIANG-HSIEN, KAUMI, TSEKINGWAN, HALGAN, HUOLU, KITCHOU, HOPHU, FOUPHING and NAN-HUNG-MEN along with several unofficial bars.

If you can find a copy, OMSA published a monograph on the campaign medals of the Boxer Rebellion in 2000.

And of the bars to the Army what would be rare combos, and if anybody could post a pic of the medal aswell i'd be most thankful, also how are the bars attached to the medal???

the clasps were not attached to the medal but to the ribbon of the medal.... use the forum search function - there are a lot of topics and pictures about the china medal and its clasps
