I am ready to make my donation and move on....
Who will pay:
$550 for bar #2?
$150 for bar #3?
$100 for Bar #4?
Plus $10 each to cover fees and shipping domestic.
All else are sold; bar #1 is on hold... for now.

Looks a lot like some of the Masonic jewel cases I've seen, and owned.

Thanks for your interest in this thread, gentlemen.

Here's my accumulation.

It matters to me.
I believe #2 is an "exemplary service" badge.
#3 I remember as being a "Chiba Prefecture" something.
#5 I dimly remember as something from Hiroshima. . . but memory being what it is. . .
It seemed to me that the WAF thread went as far as it was going to. Therefore I turned to my friends at GMIC.
There is a Chinese woman who works in my office, she has been invaluable in translating Japanese characters. I'll ask her, although I dislike bothering her when there is a wealth of information here . . . or so I thought . . .
I think I'll keep the set, instead of dumping it off as a bunch of disparate, unidentified badges. . . after I took the trouble of putting it together for a friend, who passed away before I could present it to him.
As I explained at WAF.
Thanks anyway. Sorry to bother you.

Help with translation / identification on these? Anyone?
I lost the folder containing the data on these. . . Now they are mystery.

While in the process of airing out my collection, I find that I can live without the above. If you are interested in having one or more, "message" me and we'll talk. While I won't give them away, I will entertain any serious offer.
Frankly, I am astounded at the rise in price of decorations, medals and orders lately. I don't really know how to value them (except at retail), so I'm announcing the sale in this fashion. Let the negotiations begin.
Thanks for letting me post these here as a solicitation, instead of going through the classifieds. As a reward for your forbearance, I promise (probably) not to do it again. Also:
I will donate 10% of the sell price of each bar to the maintenance of this site.

Afternoon, gentlemen and fellow collectors. (Where is the "misc." topic prefix?)
Here are some medal bars from my collection. I invite comments, ooh's and ahh's, if any. Nothing to cause uncontrollable drooling, none attributable; nevertheless fairly interesting. No need for medal idents, you know what they are.
If you don't, move along to another thread. . . . . .or remain silent and enjoy the pictures.
After I post all eight, I have a comment or two. . .
