Modern Chinese Medals - Help ID

[Austin_militaria]

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,

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.

1st, 2nd and 3rd classes of this medal.

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.

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

Thank you for the help.  Here are some closer pics.

I was just going by Chinese Wikipedia, which lists 1st, 2nd, 3rd and "Special" Classes:

服務獎章	特（任职满四十年）	公教人员服务成绩优良者，于退休（职）、资遣、辞职或死亡时
	1（任职满三十年）
	2（任职满二十年）
	3（任职满十年）

I am guessing this is what the 40 yr service one looks like. The middle suspension part is different from the usual plum flowers.

Cheap Taiwan medals.

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.

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.

[paul wood]

there was a period i think 60s when anodised aluminium was used prior and post they are considerably aesthetically more pleasing.

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.
