Army name tags. These date to the 1950s. The third one is covered in plastic. The last one was part of a nice grouping of an Chinese officer. His items were broken up and it included his name tags, patches, and unit pins dating from 1945 to 1949. I only got the chance to buy this name tag. I have no idea what it is for.



I think these are navy pins. Not sure how these were worn. From the 1950s-to??


Army picture book. Dated 1957. Full of soldiers using American equipment. From the M1 Garand to M18 Hellcats!

The tri-colored helmet color scheme. Later replaced by the Woodland/jungle camo scheme.


Some random pins and a medal. First one I believe commerates the American Airborne unit that was stationed the Taiwan. They were given the name "sky soldiers." I can't remember the unit name, I think 172nd bridgade?? Next one, is a pin from a Sichuan government official; dated 1941 on reverse with serial on the front. Third, is a Guangdong anti-Japanese militia pin with serial on reverse. Forth, is a "Victory" medal dating to 1932.

I think these are the communist types items. I don't remember seeing these uniforms types on Taiwan.

The bag on the last picture is definately PRC.

Chinese WWII hat along with my other hats that I posted earlier. I believe these are all the field hats versions from 1930's all the way to today.



Chinese Nationalist Government report on the 1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis. Lists the actions of both sides on day by day actions and artillery shelled fired by the Communists. Both English and Chinese.

Hi! Hsin!

Sorry, forget to check this thread...

Man that's fantastic!

There's not a lot of people who collecting ROC militaria, I think you might be few of collector that I know who collecting the staff, anyway that great staff you have there!

Do you mind I ask the personal question? Are you Taiwanese or American?
Just curious.

Great! I believe there were be lot of expert in Taiwan but not sure they have early staff or not, ha... I personally like early ROC militaria between 1945-1960...

Hope one day I could find an early flag and M35 Chinese German helmet...

Only see the helmet in the Taiwan military museum.

I have seen some of the M35s for sale. One perfect one went for $6500 USD almost a year ago.

A very rusty and with a bullet hole, missing liner went for $350.

Both sold to China.

I also like to collect same period as you.

Here are some pieces from the 1970's and 1980's. Please excuse the glare from the plastic pockets. If anyone has good identifications they will be much appreciated. Thanks

And some ROC army cloth pieces from the same time period.
