    1. With the pronunciation given, I think I found it... 國境事変従軍記章 Jason
    2. LOL! Thanks! I know it's on the lid (but I don't have one), so I was hoping to have it written out for me...
    3. Ok, got another one for you: National Shrine Foundation Commemorative Medal Kanji & pronunciation...? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jason
    4. Ok, I know this is a Dark Navy Blue Ribbon medal forum, but I decided to ask here anyway... I just got this Blue Ribbon Merit Medal and wanted to confirm a few things. Recipient's name = Otaki Koujirou Date = April 29, 1965 (日九十二月四年十四和昭 = Showa Juyon Nen Shi-gatsu Nijuku-nichi) Also, what do the 2 kanji characters above the recipient's name represent? Thanks again! Jason
    5. I am! I love to know everything about what I'm collecting. Pronunciation of European and Eastern Baltic/Russian decorations is not a problem, but when I get into decorations of Asian origin, I'm in trouble! Glad to have you all around to fill in the blanks! Jason
    6. Hi everyone, What is the correct pronunciation of the Korean Annexation Commemorative Medal (韓国併合記念章) in Japanese? Thanks! Jason
    7. Hi everyone, Just picked this one up a few days ago and was hoping you all could confirm/provide some information? From what I've gathered, this is an "Army Sharpshooting Proficiency Badge, 3rd. Class", correct? I was wondering if you can tell from the photos as to what time period this would be (after 1912 from what I've read)? Can someone provide the Japanese kanji for this badge, as well as the Romanization for the kanji (example; Order of the Rising Sun (旭日章, Kyokujitsu-shō)? I like to catalog my collection with accurate names, translations and history/info, so any information you all can provide would be wonderful! Thanks! Jason
    8. I forgot to ask, but would "Showa Juhachi Toshi Juichi-Gatsu Nijuni-Nichi" be the proper way to say the date? Jason
    9. Nick, Thanks for confirming!! I wasn't sure if I had it correct at all. Jason
    10. Hi Nick, Thanks for the info! I was looking around online for a Japanese calendar database/translator, and from what I found, the bar shows (if I'm reading this correctly): 日二十二月一十年八十和昭 Shouldn't that be?: Showa Juhachi Toshi Juichi-Gatsu Nijuni-Nichi = November 22, 1943 If I'm not translating correctly, please let me know! Thanks! Jason
    11. Hi everyone! Just got this one a few days ago and need some help with the translation of the date bar. I know it's "Showa 18" (1943), but that's all I know. Thanks! Jason
    12. I double checked mine, and it is definitely an "F", and not a "P". Here are the photos... Jason
    13. I have read where there is a capital "P" on them sometimes (no explanation for what that makers mark is for either), but no information found on a capital "F". Anyone? Thank you, Jason
    14. Hello everyone, I have a Prussian Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe that has a capital "F" mint mark on the reverse, right under the hole for the ring mount. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this maker's mark? I haven't been able to find anything on it as of yet. Thank you, Jason
    15. Saschaw, Thank you very much! I did not know this. I guess my follow up question would be: Would one ever find a Prussian Campaign Medal for 1813-1814, with an original ribbon, in a tri-fold (as in the Saxon or Austrian) style? I have found a medal that I am interested in purchasing, and it is on a home made trifold ribbon that appears to be original to the period, or at least a VERY old replacement. I am just wondering if this would be something that one would have traditionally been encountered for medals from that time? Thank you again, and best regards, Jason
    16. Hello everyone, I only collect Imperial German orders and medals that are on original parade/court mounts (traditional mounting styles to a particular German State or Kingdom). One area that I don't have too much expertise in is those original mountings from the early 1800's. I was hoping someone could show me some original mountings for those Prussian medals from that time period, specifically the Prussian Campaign Medal for 1813-1814 (Kriegs-Denkmünze für 1813-1814). Thank you, Jason
    17. So, this is a shooting award, or a badge for a royal shooting club then? Thanks! Jason
