Austin_militaria Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 These are pretty modern Chinese/Taiwan medals. Can anyone ID them? I have only been able to find one and it was referred to as a Marshall Medal. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Number 3 is a long service medal (服務獎章). It comes in 4 classes, for 10, 20, 30 and 40 years' service. It i not listed on the English Wikipedia page and there is no illustration on the Chinese Wikipedia page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hc8604 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have always seen three classes for the service medal. Never heard of if being 4 classes. There was an ebay seller that gave odd description of a service medal he has as a Japanese/Taiwanese WWII Marshall medal. Had it for sale for several hundred dollars. Had a laugh with that one. Very common medals in Taiwan. The others I think are organization medals. None of them look like government issued stuff. Close pictures would be better.

hc8604 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Looks like the others may be government civilian awards after all. I got the second one translated, if I have time, I will get the others translated. Hopefully somebody can get the others. Second one is a ROC Ministry of Interior 中華民國內政部 medal. Medal seems to be a service medal, first class. 役政一等獎章 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hc8604 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I am guessing this is what the 40 yr service one looks like. The middle suspension part is different from the usual plum flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vor45 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Cheap Taiwan medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 cheap Taiwan medals but at least not fakes. I must confess though the anodised aluminium versions are probably the worst blasphemies ever created in phaleristic history. p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hc8604 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I have the service medal, 10 year one. My uncle gave it to me with the certificate, since he had others. I don't know what the material it is made out of, its heavy, but its not aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 there was a period i think 60s when anodised aluminium was used prior and post they are considerably aesthetically more pleasing. p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hc8604 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Oh yes, 1960s hat a lot of insignias and medals were anodized aluminum. The medals just had paint enamel, not that great looking. Right, prior and post were better. I think some current high rank issue medals are silver again. I went back and checked, my uncle was awarded the 10yr medal in 1987. Too bad the govt stopped matching medal number on the certificate.. the medals and certificates have different serial numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
