Hi, i like to share my observation base on my Order of Pillars 1st and 3rd class collection
base on my observation i try to measure the length from bottom to top of the medal (ring loop no included)
1st = 69 mm
3rd = 68 mm
in Thickness it also has a difference ( Enamel portion still not included, only the outer most side)
1st = 4 mm (photo #3 left side)
3rd = 3 mm (photo #3 right side)
Has bigger ring loop the 3rd class
My 1st class has no "M" mark on top
Thank you
The book is an old Japanese book from 70's or 80's ( not sure need to check it again), the book cover is in the left side of the photo, inside it has an article of few pages about the badge but i can read it.
yes the description is beside the photo of the badge, it is say about during the Sept 2, 1944, with some squad numbers. cant read it very detail.
I see , Thank you for the information Mr. Nick, im just curious about this medal never seen one in books and other references. i though it was post war already.
I see, Thank you Mr. Marvyn for the reply and info.... Zhang Zongchang has been in Russian also in his early age (so he might have that dagger in Russia?) and later became a warlord in China... he also didn't reach the world war 2, more on Sun Yat-sen era only.
Thank you

i have post the old rusted image and cleaned
Wow $100,000, i think price before are higher, due to no much people have internet those days, and cant compare prices easily also or do research (unlike today just set on your computer with internet all information are there already) just need to search it.
ya you right Mr. Nick and they are more color silver in birds area, rather than the other one have golden color.... don't know if there is difference in 1st class set breast star, and 2nd class breast star.
what do you think Mr. Nick?
Thank you Mr. Nick... happy to have them
i didnt expect that i will have those medals someday, and also i didnt expect that the 1st class medal will be together again.
