Poppy Medal Framing offer a replica copy full size Soochow Creek 1937 Medal-moulded from an original we purchased from the family in lead free pewter and plated to emulate an aged original medal.Complete with red white and blue ribbon.
The original is name engraved to the original owner and this is present on the replica who was in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers(the RWF were sent over with the Royal Ulster Rifles in 1937 to protect the International community in Shanghai).The photograph shows the obverse and reverse of the medal and a UK one pound coin(not inlcuded) and this listing is for one medal and ribbon.
The history of the medal is that it is an unofficial medal produced by members of the United States Marine Corps who were present during the 1st Sino Japanese war of 1932 and they created the medal and had it produced in Shanghai locally and sold the medal for $2 to anyone who wanted to purchase one-the 1932 ribbon was yellow and a single brown central stripe-the colours have meaning!
The original medal has red white and blue ribbon on it hence our use of the same colours of ribbon.The obverse features a Honeypot cart which I understand was the local custom of collecting urine etc(hence colours of ribbon) for use as a fertiliser the reverse as shown in the photo.
We ship international please enquire if you want a tracked and or signed service which would be extra.
