I picked these up many years back at a flea market. Does anyone know if theyre original or repros?

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,

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.

Not the best picture is my Precious Tripod, 6th class. I will take another one tomorrow.

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
