Hey everybody this is my first post here. A little background history into what I'm posting: I'm currently 16 years old, born in Moscow and moved to USA in 2000, and have been passed down a large collection of medals and 'pins' from my Grandfather. At the same time, my Grandmother on the other side of my family passed me down her father's war medal collection. Her father was actually a general in the Soviet and Russian Army from 1899 - 1945. He served in Russo-Jap war of 1904-5, WWI, Civil War, Winter War, and WWII. While he was a general, he was actually a horse veteran and only saw combat action when there was no alternative. Regardless, I have been able to identify most of the large collections I have received, yet I am unable to recognize this cockade and a Japanese war medal.
Cockade (I'm limited in uploading through the site):

Back without screw-on:
Now I understand this is the Imperial Russia section, however, I don't want to create a separate thread for my other question. From what I understand on this medal, my great-grandfather picked it off of a dead Japanese soldier in either the Russo-Japanese war or WWII. I also know that the case is not meant for the medal, it was meant for another medal. I believe the case was meant for the Order of the Rising Sun.

Thanks for the help!
