Not supposed to be a reproduction, its actually something quite unrelated, but inspired no doubt by the Order of the Dragon. Its actually from the Vampire the Masqurade roleplaying game by White Wolf. Clan Tzimisce, the Clan that ruled eastern europe (and especially the area around the Carpathians) unopposed until the late middle ages. The description just rung a bell, I had to find an image and share it.  |

Isn't this an old Vietnamese order? |

I am definitely not an expert in Far Eastern languages, but AFAIK the Vietnamese don't write with pictograms, but rather with more 'regular' letters - at least that's what I see on the local Vietnamese stores' front logos.

I've found it. It is definitely the Vietnamese Imperial Order of the Dragon of Annam established on 14 March 1886. |

I'm not an expert either, but this might be a custom they picked up under the French, as the Order of the Dragon of Anam is older than the establishment of French Indochina. |
