drclaw Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks for posting these Nick. The double dragon medal is certainly very attractive and one I've not encountered in any catalogue or reference book before. The medallion and design appears to be a perfect fit which suggests an original award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would suggest an earlier version of the award.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drclaw Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) It was remiss of me not to read the reverse inscription earlier. From what I can tell, it is a Shandong Province award dated the 17th Year 1st month of the Republic, i.e. January 1928. This could well make it a charity award from the Dogmeat General Zhang Zongchang! Others with better Mandarin might be able to confirm.
