Hi like to share the photo of 1st class Golden Kite and 2nd Golden kite Sets.

Ya your right Mr. Nick

Almost half the price in the 1st auction =) $12000 to $6700

Thank you utopis, for a nice scientific explanation ill try to find a new better location for those medals, to make it last longer. i see so most of the modern materials are all bad to the for antiques and Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you Mr. Nick, the only use the repro box now is for better protection of the medal.

Wow those medals are nice Mr. Nick.... gold ver. nice post

Oh i see, wow that is an nice research Mr. Nick and additional knowledge to me also...happy to know it so i got a replica box but still happy and lucky that the medal are not fake Thank you very much Mr. Nick, you have a clear and nice presentation

Sure ill wait for it and happy to see it also Mr. Nick additional knowledge

Oh i see, Mr. Nick... thank you for those information. now i know. next time when i see a box again, ill make a consultation to you first. Thank you

Here is some details of the box... what do you think??? some stain inside the box and the metal have some corrosion..... in the lock can see the old one and the replacement that i have made

Hi again Mr. Nick Thank you, I will try to find another better box if have a chance, important is the medals are sure real...hehe

Haha you got it perfectly Mr. Nick, your like a detective of medals and Thank you also.... i have fix the broken clasp already, by replacing it came from a repro box also...to avoid accidentally open the box (fall out all the medals ) and to have more safety in the medals. Thank you also Drclaw and welcome too. your right need patience and persistence, it is really nice to see a set of it in a box. who want some beer

Finally i have the Golden kite set 1st class and 2nd with original box, but only the sash is repro. Dream come true.

I see Nice that a new type of Silver Homma medal, because most with smooth edge, has a hanger loop, or have a sign of a broken loop on top.

Hi Masanori, i agree with Mr. Nick, color is strange to me. did you clean it or polish it? and is the medal have reeded edge like in coin? or just smooth edge?

i have also a doubt on that medal looks fake??? and color dont look like made in silver also. but someone also bid it

Ya i remember that Mr. Nick, it a big bonus in the buyer $5600 only in those set... and now it became $12500 in 2nd class only w/ little damage in enamel.....and the 2****y (5) really help the seller to have that price, lucky seller. i think when a 2nd class or 1st class come again in ebay it will be more $$$ and price will be more higher.

Wow nice story and collection Mr. Nick. happy to read this.

wow the price in ebay is only half the price of 50k.

WOW £35 000 not US$

Wow nice Mr. Nick, w/ all original. wish someday ill have those also. the 35k price is long time already 6 to 7 years ago.

and how long ago is that price sold Mr. Nick?

Wow that was high Mr. Nick. by the way did you have those also Mr. Nick, due to i see the 2nd class in you photo.

Wow thats a high price Mr. Nick..... how much in the right price for the 1st class Golden Kite medal?

Thank you Mr. Nick. It quite rare to see a silver type of Laurel Medal, it also have 3 design same with the bronze version. seen in Basso's book.
