johannis Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hello. First, congratulations and thanks for yours forum, It is a great help for a new collector like me. I think this Golden Kite 7th class medal is a Shōwa period piece. Can anyone to confirm this and tell me if made before or after the ww2? The box has an inscription with 7 characters, is the correcte period box? I've also seen boxes with 6 characters, do you know the reason? Thanks, for every help and info. Sorry,for my bad english.

JapanX Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Yes, this is Showa piece with correct case. This order was made before the end of WW2. The earlier cases have "7th class Kinshisho" whereas the later (Showa) cases have "7th class Kinshikunsho" inscription. So the earlier inscription is shorter by one character.
