CHINESE MILITARY - POLICE - GOVERNMENT - - BADGE/PIN - CIRCA 1935
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:107020 | Type: Badge |
This was from a recent estate sale find in Monterey California. I had 2 of these badges and they had different numbers stamped on their backs. This is the last one.I researched this pin extensively and the following is what I came up with. I had an older Chinese woman interpret the lettering as best as she could.On the pin back, above the number 2283 the lettering is inscribed in Chinese "year 35 January".
She be...lieves it belonged to a VIP in government, military or police. Her best guess for a number of reasons on the country of origin is Taiwan or Hong Kong.
The reason there is English script as well as Chinese on the badge is because in Taiwan/Hong Kong it is and has been very common to mix English & Chinese, they call it Chinglish.That is all I know about the pin, it appears to be ceramic on metal and has a diameter of 1.25".Good luck on this 84 year old badge.. I will ship USPS PRIORITY MAIL for Continental USA. International $15.00
