JapanX Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Yep... This mysterious type 5 (and type 6) in this classification http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/51156-classification-of-colden-kites-in-4th-and-5th-class-an-attempt/ . So does it really exclusively belong to Taisho epoch as I though? Here we were having first doubts http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/52822-applying-the-golden-kite-dating-classification-a-question-for-japanx/ Then again http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/51156-classification-of-colden-kites-in-4th-and-5th-class-an-attempt/page-3 (from post # 47) Now we know the exact answer The answer is solid NO! No, it doesn`t exclusively belong to Taisho epoch! This type of Kite with "scattered" riverts belong to Meiji/Taisho epoch. Why? Here comes an answer!

PATOUT Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hello to all friends collectors, Hello to Nick I have in my collection a 5th class G.K. and I have a question : Is my G.K. a Meiji-Taisho epoch ? it seems to me that "Yes" according the Nick's article : "an ultimate test for dating G.K...." but Am I right ? What do you think ? If someone has an opinion on this matter thank for your help. Regards Patout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Yep. Kite is from Showa epoch, but the case is from Meiji/Taisho time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello JapanX Thank you very much for this answer, I am sorry that the medal and the case are not the same epoch, I thought of having a homogeneous set, ....too bad, it's a pity.

JapanX Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) This is how the correct case for this type of kite should look like. Edited November 4, 2016 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATOUT Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hello Thank you very much JapanX I keep affectedly these photos for the documentation (photothèque) that I am establishing. But... I begin to have a doubt about other kites i have in my collection ... Both this below seem to me of era Meiji as well as cases (the box of 7th class is Brown what reminds me in a box of era meiji)... but what about exactly !!! I'm afraid !!

On the B/W photograph the center field (which should be blue) appears to be lighter in tone than the 32 rays (which should be red). I was trying to play with the picture, but I cannot get the sender blue field look like on the photograph here... How dod you explain that?

Correct kites in correct cases Just now, Egorka said: How dod you explain that? Most likely this happened because of the catchlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
