Here are 2 shoulder straps. One with insignia for the Chinese Air Force. I think it is early. The other has no insignia.

WOW~ early Chinese af hawk

Hi,

Here is my only stuff what I obtained from Bejing market, when we was there for a friend's wedding. Some China and N-Korea single ribbon bars. Large uniform patch turned out fake (paid 1-2 euro anyway). Also large bar is funny.... official-unofficial ribbon bar from China and I really actually like it some weird way



similar decorative ribbon bar in wear:

Irish, jcwater is correct. The medal comes in 3 classes, you have them in order (1st-3rd).

The first class seems to be missing a star. It could probably be a 2nd class with a 1st class ribbon. The 2nd class has the wrong ribbon. It should have one stripe instead of two. I am guessng the little red stars are glued on? The 3rd class's star has shifted. Are these or any of your other Taiwan medals numbered?

Noor, I don't know about the other items, one looks to be a Russian hat badge. The one patch is a Northeast army patch, but it is fake as jcwater mentioned. I remember seeing your picture from somewhere...

Thanks Hsin and JC, here is another photo showing a 2nd set of this award but of a smaller size. It looks like this set has the ribbons correct. Is there a reason for 2 different sizes?

Hsin yes the stars on the larger medals are applied, while the smaller medals have enamelled stars
thank You

Can you show the back of a large pics ?

The reverse pictures would help. Are these all anodized aluminum, any serials?

I think, but this is my assumption, is that the newest ones are the smaller ones with a wider ribbon. I have seen the new ones with the shiny and wider ribbons for sale on Taiwan, but I do not know the diameter of the medal because I am basing these off pictures. The older, maybe 60s-70s? are larger with narrower ribbons.

[irish]

The reverse. The larger medals have stars that are riveted to the medal. both medals feel heavy so I do not beleive they are aluminum. the ribbons are of the same size on both types of medal.

[irish]

I should clarify, the ribbons are of the same width on all medals.

Sorry~
your all order of renaissance and honour are After 1980`s of production in Taiwan Republic of China.
no WWII edition ~no 1946~1949 edition.

Yes I understood that they are newer, I knew they were not WW2.
