    This badge was found in an old tin box at a local estate sale. There was no other military or Chinese items. Obviously Nationalist Chinese but other than that I don't have a clue. Any help appreciated,

    Like I posted in WAF, it is just reproduction. I have seen a few of these on ebay too.

    For what it is worth - The inscription should be read from right to left,thus ' Wan Ngoh Ho Shan ' literally ' Return the river and mountain to me ' meaning ' Give it all back '.Obviously some form of

    re- unification plea.

    It is for the Northwest part (Manchuria). But rarely I see Kuomintang written on any badges. Real ones don't have KMT on the reverse.

    Not sure which dialect you are using, Cantonese? In pinyin it is Huán wǒ héshān.
