      (european?) made Jap. Order of the Rising Sun

      in Japan

      Posted

      Thanks to your pics, Nick, I have the same oppinion. Seems like Godet used different "letters" on their hallmark. But honestly, would it make sense?

      Why is one company using different marks?

      I heard about any aux badges, which were made by Schwerin Berlin, but not stamped. Maybe to obfuscate any quality issue and operating as a "unknown maker".

      I'm wondering, if there is something similar with Godet (IF maker is Godet, of course...).

      BR, Chris

      Gents,

      After I got the permission of the owner, I’d like to show you an unusual Japanese Order of the Rising Sun 4th class.

      Firstly, I need to thank our expert user “Japan X” for the hint :beer: , that this is “unusual” for two reasons: the enamel of the paulownia leaf and the maker’s mark in the ring. It may be a piece, which was manufactured in Prussia in the 1900s.

      One of the German SDA member stated, that the hallmark might be an indication for the Johann Godet & Sohn jeweler, who used “JG&S” as hallmark. Of course, nor he or I have any evidence of this theory. But the hallmark on a German Red Eagle looks pretty similar.

      Any comments are welcome!

      BR, Chris

      Manchurian Enthronement Commemorative Medal

      Looks rather hand polished. Chemicals would remove a patina evenly and in the deepest spots. But here the deeper areas aren't cleaned. That's were a cloth (or whatever was used) can't reach the surface.

      @utopis:

      Agree with you! A chemical treatment would leave a unique "cleaning result". Maybe some special cotton, which is used for silver necklace etc.

      Yep, please send this one to me ...

      For testing ...

      Ribbons look like originals (although they look like they also had contact with some kind chemical (?), cleaning liquid (?) )

      Nick, I have a very good idea, how to check authentizity of ribbons!

      Yours, "burning master" Chris

      PS: Honestly, we now that there are possiblities of using washing fluid, which influence structure, haptic etc. of ribbons. E.g. treat cuff titles, until they don't glow under UV-light...

      WW2 mobilization order for women?

      in Japan

      @JapanX: Caught the “broad hint” :-)

      @M-G:

      Just in haste. After I turned the doc into the right way and played with the brightness, I could read some of the content.

      This document was issued in Showa 24 (1949), March 17th (column H)

      1. Row: Numbers

      2. Row: Dates (month & days)

      3. Row: no idea!

      4. Row: female names

      5. Row: comments

      6. Row: comments

      I’m not sure (sorry, but the quality is still poor), but it looked like an abstract from a book, given by the Japanese Army. It seems like it is a page of a book about Japanese female, which went out of Japan. E.g. Row 5, column B said: “because of marriage”.

      Hope that anybody else could clarify/add some info.

      BR, Chris
