China GREAT CHINESE MEDALS AUCTION AT CARSTEN ZEIGE

[KIMKAN]

Dear all,

I have just received a magnificent glossy paper catalog of the November 15th militaria and medals auction to be run by the house of Carsten Zeige in Hamburg - Germany - (Internet link below).

Items 465 to 518 are nothing but a great collection of imperial and republican Chinese awards, including attributed pieces with supporting photographs etc....

There will be another 1st type 3rd Class Double Dragon to be auctioned off in that sale, identical to that of the Kunker sale a few weeks ago but with an interesting chopmark on reverse.

I am just wondering if 2014 has not been the most incredible year for Chinese medals auctions with high quality items being offered by Poly of Hong Kong, Spink and Morton & Eden of London, Kunker and Carsten Zeige in Germany plus other sales I have not mentioned and possible additional items between today and the end of 2014. I do not recall having seen so many interesting pieces in such a short period of time.

Regards to all.
