Republic of China Ceremonial Dagger + Photo + Medal

[Linasl]

Greetings Al.

I am a collector and seller.  I have an opportunity to buy a lot of Republic of China, which includes a ceremonial dagger, a photo of an ROC soldier and some type of medallion.  I know nothing about these.  If you know what they are and which era, that would be great info.  I am also curious about what it says on the reverse of the photo, as well on either side of the dagger.

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.  Linas

Modern chinese fakes.

OK, great to know.

The letter is dated 1950, which doesn't represent the photo of Chiang's (it looks like him to me) uniform which is from the Northern Expedition period. I don't know if his signature is his or not as aides would sign in his name at times too when he has them write down notes.

They used his photo from early 1920s.

 

With Sun Yat-sen (naturally before March 1925).
