farmer Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Gentlemen,Chinese awards are not my cup of tea, would anyone be able to identify this particular one? Any info would be great. Ribbon is only partial but appears to be of age and could be original. There is quite a bit of wear to it and I am hoping it is not a recent forgery. There is a 'vent' hole at the bottom of the rim, it appears to be hollow which would explain the 'vent' hole. It appears to be of lower grade silver (although I did not test for it) with light gilding. I read through most of the topics in this section but cannot find exact one like it. Thank you in advance.
JapanX Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Original.Made in silver.Issued by Sichuan warlord Luo Peijin. Best,Nick Here is our boy in full glory
farmer Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Nick,That was quick !!! Thank you very much. Do you know if this was indeed issued/made during his life - I read up a bit on him and the source I read said that he was a Governor of the Sichuan between 1916-1917, killed in 1922. Would this be some kind of commemorative or other award?
JapanX Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Yes, I believe it was issued during his short "reign"Reverse bears three words 紀 - Discipline令 - Order章 - medal
farmer Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Nick,Thank you again! I take it, it would be anyone's guess how many such medals were awarded. Edited September 5, 2015 by farmer mistake
hc8604 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 To me it looks like 紀念章, which just means Commemorative medal. Usually these warlords are always commemorating something
No one Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) Dear Gentlemen, This the "Luō Pèi jīn Commemorative medal": Translation: - obverse: above: "Sìchuān provincial military governor" (during the early Republic of China era (1911-1949 AD)) under: "Gift from (presented by) Luō Pèi jīn" - reverse: "Commemorative medal" -Note: The medal was produced using the hollow welding process (in Chinese 中空焊接工藝) of the time. The medal has an internal support in the middle to support Luō Pèi jīn's portrait. Yours sincerely, No one Edited March 23 by No one
No one Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Dear TracA, Thank you. I forgot to mention that the medal is made of silver and dates back to 1916. Yours sincerely, No one
