Hi! I bought a set of documents awarding medals. The first three relate to a reportedly serial transport corps soldier from the Russo Japanese 1904-05 war period. They comprise the 1904-05 War Medal, the Order of the Rising Sun 8th Class and a certificate of appreciation to him for serving in the Russo Japanese War from his local district in which he lived. Is his name and military rank on the documents? Probably family name is Suzuki.. The fourth document is probably more contemporary, but I don't know anything about it, can I ask for help in identifying the winner and the date of awarding the order of the Rising Sun 8th grade?

Hello, below list of foreigners decorated with the Order of Polonia Restituta between 1944 -1989, in Polish People's Republic, but I think only 1st class, this way - in total in 1944–1992 (until the end of the Act of the Polish People's Republic period) 681 949 Orders of Rebirth of Poland were awarded. Probably foreigners accounted for 1-2%...

Thanks Nick!

Thanks a lot Nick!! and does the text say what Inoe Yataro rank was?

Hello! I purchased the Order of the Golden Kite VII class document, very cheap but also very damaged. It looks like this after a minor reconstruction. I have a question, can you get information about who was awarded this order and when? I would be extremely grateful!

Hi! As for me (and I'm not an expert) both crosses look good ? regards Prem

Any organic solvent like alcohol, acetone, isopropanol will cope well with adhesives and impurities of this type and certainly will not destroy the medal.

Maybe use some commercial numismatic (coins) cleaner? In the form of a paste?

Sorry, Nicolai? Photo excellent !

This raid looks bad and I would remove it personally, it is not a patina ...

Many thanks Mike !

I bought such an emblem as an emblem from a Japanese officer's hat. It didn't cost much, do you have any ideas about which hat it comes from? Size circa about 30 mm Regards Prem

Look at this link http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/austro-hungarian-forum/austro-hungarian-small-silver-bravery-medal-2-bars-26652/

And why do You think it is fake? Looks fine ?

Below link with few interesting facts about russain imperial army epaulets http://www.pygmywars.com/barendspages/notes/shoulderboards/shoulderboards.html Regards Prem

I think, it is Iron Cross Ist class

Fantastic set !!

? thanks !

A few decorations from my collection - this is just the beginning of the collection of Japanese decorations and orders ? Orders of the Golden Kite - set by Przemysław Zięba

Thanks a lot Nick ! ?

I got such a badge as a gift to buy the Golden Kite order, but I don't know what the badge is, maybe it's civil? Have You any ideas? Regards Prem

Look up high and build up, look like masonic motto? Maybe it is worth following this lead?

What is the size in centimeters? Maybe it is a badge of military music from the tsarist era?

Hi! Maybe it is order - award Order of Saint John of Jerusalem- from Australia? Colour of the ribbon (red not black) look in this link is few photos with similar crosses (one person on page no 8), but only one person wear cross without lions and unicorns .. https://www.sosjinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Bulletin_August_2018_web.pdf or.. http://i-nobili-gentiluomini-napoletani.blogspot.com/2015/03/reale-arciconfraternita-dei-santi.html http://www.iagiforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9336
