P.F. Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Possibly the China Republican Order of the Striped Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Not sure what it could be. I'm not sure it is the Chinese one as the one being worn seems to have 10 points whereas the Chinese one has 8 and the tiger seems to be taking up a lot of space in the center whereas it doesn't seem that way in the photo. Maybe another Chinese award - or from another country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Most likely he has higher class (breast star) of this award from the ministry of communications. He got it during his service in China somewhere around 30s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-German_cooperation_(1926–1941) Regards, Nick Edited August 27, 2019 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not most likely, but most definitely P.S. Just in case. 15 hours ago, P.F. said: Possibly the China Republican Order of the Striped Tiger. This is a fake breast star. Original breast star looks like this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
