Bob Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Perhaps slightly out of place here... but still... have seen several rare awards from Manchukuo at auctions recently and I've been flabbergasted by their beauty. Old items... but with designs that appear almost like modern art (with the corresponding price tag!). Anybody know a good online reference site?

JBFloyd Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Not much out there on-line about Manchukuo awards. The hard-copy reference is still Jim Peterson's OMSA monograph "Orders and Medals of Japan and Associated States", third edition. This edition was extensively revide to include color photographs.In the meantime, here's an Order of the Pillars of State, fourth class, which amply exhibits the quality of design and workmanship of Manchukuo awards.

Guest Rick Research Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've always thought these had a kind of "Aztec Sci-Fi" look to them, so completely out of time and place in design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bob: Shall do so, when I get back from my travels in early August. Will post many other things too. Moderators: While we have a fascinating thread here, with many lovely things, should it not be moved to the World or even Other Axis sub-forum. Manchuquo has nothing to do with Mongolia (Outer or Inner). OK, they both start with an "M". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
