Dirk Posted May 6, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 6, 2018 Playing around with different backgrounds and brought together some China Marine related silver items. Left to right a silver plated Croquet trophy from Shanghai to a pair of 4th Marines. One of the personal-sized trophies awarded to each winning participant for the 1931 North China Marine v.s. Army shooting competion. There is a lengthy story behind this award and difficulties the Marines had in having them made locally that a fellow Fourm member discovered at the National Archives. A small Shanghai Volunteer Corps boxing award in the form of a silver cup to a Shanghai Marine. A Shanghai Volunteer Corps trophy to the American Company. A silver belt buckle with EGA made by the silversmith Teh Ling of Peiping. A baseball award for intra-Company play between the Tientsin Marines, c. 1939 by a Peiping based jewerly store. And lastly a silver Chinese made cup for a Marine with a large hand hammered EGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
