JapanX Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Without original case in sight it's hardly "a bargain" Couple of days ago set of two (stone mint cased "cannon" + cased medal on blue ribbon) was sold in Japan for $1130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjcp Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 You'd think with 572 issued they would be worth more. You live you learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 They look pretty old! I'd say both were issued somewhere between 1887 and 1894 :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjcp Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks for posting those pictures. I must say that I find around $1000 a bargain for these considering the rarity and usual quality,even with the wrong case. Maybe my judgement has been clouded by my years of collecting Mongolian items, where occasionally one would pay for rarity over quality. I guess next time I'll know what to expect with these. Thanks again for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) By the way, how do you like this order of his medals? "Wedding"/"Cannon"/"Constitution"/"Red Cross" Instead of official "Constitution"/"Wedding"/"Cannon"/"Red Cross" Poets ...

fjcp Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Ah the artistic types. Conformity goes against the very idea of being creative, so Perhaps on days he was feeling particularly creative he wore them upside down. Great picture and thanks for posting. Now there's a set of rarities I wouldn't mind having. Merry Christmas all. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter3 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I'm kinda surprised this one didn't sell. What am I missing? Don't know much about these, but it seems legit, does it not? Thought the going rate was more than this…..?? http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w103239061 Edited June 1, 2014 by Dieter3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The price is also all right if only it is actual "buy it now" price ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm starting to hesitate for asking, but can someone date this item? How do you figure out at this medal, when it was probably awarded? BR, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can you date these examples? BR, Chris De ja vu? I'm starting to hesitate for asking, but can someone date this item? Well, since all these medals were issued only for a very short period of time (7 years - from 1887 to 1894) usually no dating is needed. No?
