Guys, is this one no. 5 type?

I've found a fake 8h class https://asiamedals.info/threads/fake-orders-of-the-eight-trigrams.25527/ and it does look similar to that mine 7th. So I guess we have an answer.

Thank you. I've checked those examples before but to be honest the logic goes two ways now. So I guess there was no one and only template of that inscription on back and it can vary, but still on the other hand in my case the lettering is far smaller than on the examples shown by JapanX. Is it possible to get any proof of the lettering similar to mine is genuine? Many thanks again, R

I'd appreciate any insight

Hi all, is this one genuine? The inscription on the back seems smaller than on the others...

I know, but I'm looking for a photo proof whether such situation existed.

One more thing guys. I've asked about it some time ago,but maybe it just went unnoticed. Is there any proof that a soldier wore 2 lower kites, 6th and 7th together? R

Appreciate, cheers

Appreciate Nick as always. All best

Thanks Tracy, that's useful. I've found as well the other topic with mirrors you mentioned. Cheers

Ok, and the chance that the 2nd one is real? One more thing, have you made similar thread on recognizing sacred treasures from the exact periods? I remember the one on length of the vein on leaf in rising sun, very informative. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you Nick. To the group with two kites - do you tell it by the thickness of the yellow veines on the shields? I thought that the birds themselves are like showa. And to the 2nd bar - can it be that the recipient served to get both annam and Sawa?
