    Very nice Nick! I think it's time that China had its own section rather than come under generic "South East and South East Asia". There are enough topics and interest for it.

    On the Coloured Dragons, what are your thoughts about these?

    Surviving insignia are usually pristine (although there is a battered Blue Dragon that has been making the auction rounds), no licence documents have been observed, and to my knowledge no recipient has been positively identified.

    One theory is that most of the insignia observed are jewellers' models and were never actually conferred.

    Yep, I think this is possible ...

    But then again some pieces have very convincing quality of work, patina and enamel damages ...

    IAC these are 100% Chinese :)

    And I really like these red/blue/black dragons :rolleyes:

    Regards,

    Nick
