JapanX Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 * the First Type Double Dragons (1882-1901) standard neck badges were mostly manufactured in Europe; * the First Type Double Dragon breast stars (transitional type) had the star corpus manufactured in Europe but with a Chinese manufactured centre (which was a reduced size First Type Double Dragon badge) * the Second Type Double Dragons (1902-1911) were mostly manufactured in China. The European / Russian insignia were typically marked (and usually much clearer than my example!), while the Chinese insignia were typically unmarked. I`ve always wondered why Chinese workshops couldn`t manufacture corpuses... ...(and usually much clearer than my example!) ... Come on! Its 1 ARFE :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
