    1. Thanks a lot again, JapanX! I hoped, it was a plane, not  "土"... It is just 1  sm in length, but has two pleasant marks... Besides, the stopper ring is not a simple one.

       

    2.    Hello, jentlemen! Here is a not incurious buckle.

         On the averse we can see some theme of Tsushima battle and wellknown words of Admiral Togo, the date "October 1934" and Mint's mark (slightly seen).  On the reversе - Togo' contour (think so) plus some "remains" of kanji above.
      What is the idea? Why only contour on the reverse and no more details of Admiral's portrait at all? May be, because 1934 is the year when Togo passed away?

    3. Since we have an interesting idea of JapanX about reanamelling and heating up the badge, I have inspected it once more. To my opinion it is is more likely to be patina, not the traces of heating. 20220117_174619.thumb.jpg.12b4302705d8e630d2989aef81b35335.jpg

      Suppose, the badge was heated up. In that case there will be traces of heating around four rivets. Because the rivets are exactly  in the area of assumed heating and they are thermal stress concentrators.   But I can not see anything wrong around the rivets.

      One more thing about the rivets. The heads of them (on the reverse of badge) have more wide “minus” slots and that slots are oriented approximately vertically, not 45 degrees, as it mostly happens to be.

      What do you, gentlemen, think about all of that?

      By these photos it looks like the badge was heated up once. 

      Or is it just patina?

      Nick, thanks a lot!

      Heating - very interesting! And in result, brown colour turned out to be orange? May that white remains, you marked,  be the result of heating? But why the longest rays have no white remains?
