New Members jspenc2 Posted June 19, 2011 at 04:54 PM New Members Report Posted June 19, 2011 at 04:54 PM Hi guys, I bought this great old pin from an antiques shop in HCMC, Vietnam. (click to enlarge) Most of the other pins/buttons in the store were war-related. I'm pretty sure the characters on it are Mandarin. I am considering having it turned into a necklace, but would love to know what it says before I do so! Any help is greatly appreciated - I've tried drawing the characters into the translation websites online with not much luck. Thanks everyone! J Quote
