On the 17th February 1954 an extraordinary congress of leaders decided that due to the success of the People's Liberation Army in overcoming extreme difficulties during its existence and victories in both securing the regime and borders of the People's Republic (including actions in Korea against United Nations Forces) the serving members of the Armed Forces of the People's Republic deserved to be honoured with a uniform and universal recognition. Throughout 1954 these gifts of gratitude were handed out across the whole of the nation to all good standing service personnel of all branches of armed service.

These are often misidentified as 5th anniversary of victory in the Civil War items (which doesn't have a defined end date by either regime), 5th anniversary of the People's Republic (which would have been 1st October) or for service in Korea. This was awarded to combatants of both the Civil War and Korean Conflict but not for their participation in either. This is a very general "from a grateful nation" type award.

Although it is just the portable part of a larger physical award group and merely a "Badge" it is comparable in size to an early Soviet Order Of The Patriotic War.

They were seen on nearly every service uniform at some point in 1954 but soon disappeared. They can still sometimes be seen on older veterans' chests alongside other awards. There were a vast number produced, somewhere around the 4-5,000,000 mark - and still they are heavily faked.

The back reads: 中国人民解放军空军赠 - 跳伞纪念 which translated (very loosely:rolleyes:) means "Bestowed by the People's Army Air Force to commemorate parachute jumping." This is similar to Bragg & Turner's #2189 and I'm thinking this is 1950's - 1960's period can anyone confirm?

I would like to recommend a great book by the British Museum:

Chairman Mao badges: symbols and Slogans of the Cultural Revolution

By Hellen Wang. It is available on the net from various stores.
