Scarecrow Posted February 16, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 16, 2019 Hi Militbuff, They all appear to be original. Perhaps Forum member Hsin C will see this post. He'll be able to confirm my thoughts. Thanks for posting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsin C. Posted February 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 20, 2019 They are copies. They are known as tourist medals. Made for cheap souvenirs for tourists in China. Before I started collecting Chinese medals, I actually bought the bottom right (Order of the Precious Tripod) thinking as real. Lost $10 lol. I finally got a real one later on some years ago.

militbuff Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted February 24, 2019 Hi Hsin C, I had a feeling they were repros given how poorly they were constructed compared to original ones. Thanks for your help. Best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
