    Hello Gentlemen,

    I need your help with this picture. Maybe it could be the Oberstückmeister John.

    I have a question with the ribbon far right. Is this the ribbon for the Russian China commemorative Medal?

    Every help appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Hi JapanX,

    that looks very good, thanks !

    Is the medal showing a cipher H under a crown ?

    With a loupe I can divine this cipher.

    Cheers

    Is there not a roll floating around with foreign medals to Germans?

     

    Chris, I believe that you think on this book:

    Annahme genehmigt - Nachweis der Verleihung nichtwürttembergischer Orden / Ehrenzeichen an württembergische Militärs 1870 - 1914 from Uwe Bretzendorfer

    but this wouldn´t fit.

    Regards

    Thanks Nick,

    could you please explain what´s the difference between the silver and the bronze one?!

    The German Chinadenkmünze for combatant is from bronze and the noncombatant is from steel.

    Regards

    Bronze for noncombatans.

    Silver for combatants.

    Thanks Nick for the further explanation.

    There has been an exchange from medals between the countries

    which have participated at the china campaign.

     There has been an exchange from medals between the countries

    Naturally. 

    But these medals (in russian and german medal bars) are very rare.

    It looks like there was pretty small quota.

    I think this photo will entertain you ;)

    Captain second rank Chagin, I.I.

    Most likely the ribbon bar of his medal inscribed Taku
