China Chinese Medals - fake?

[Brigade Piron]

Hi,

I've just bought these medals. Unfortunately, I bought them before I had properly researched the topic here (lesson for the future methinks!), and I am pretty much resigned to them being fakes (fortunately I only paid a couple of dollars per piece).

Am I right? Are they even copies of real medals or pure fantasy pieces?

All best & any information is much appreciated!

These are 100% fantasy fakes BP.

Some mix of North Korea and Communist China ...

Thanks Nick, that's rather what I suspected.

What actually are the main offical Chinese Korean War medals & what do they look like (for future reference)?

All best & thanks very much for your help.
