This one looks cast to me. Definitely something not Kosher!

Thanks Nick!
I was able to read "Taisho San-Nen", "Kyuu-Nen" and "Juugun Kisho", but was having problems with the rest!
Kindest regards,
Jason

Hi Nick,
If you happen to read this post, can you provide the Kanji & pronunciation for this medal? I've been able to find the translations for the rest of my collection (with your help!!!), but this one stumps me a bit.
Thanks again!

I figured out the translation right before your post, Nick. LOL!
- Kenjutsu Kishou
So, it is actually a Swordsmanship Proficiency Badge vs. a Bayonet Proficiency Badge...?

Hi again, everyone!
Just picked this one up today.
- Army Bayonet Proficiency Badge, 1st. Class
I haven't found too much history, info, etc. on the badge (only what was in Peterson's book and on Rich's website). What info can any of you provide? Also, is that the official name of the badge, or is it "Swordsmanship" as Peterson states? I know the reverse states something about 1st. class, but that's all I got.
Nick - you know the drill!
Thanks again everyone!

Thanks again, Nick!
Were these worn on the uniforms as the other proficiency badges? I haven't seen any photos with them being worn...

Hi Nick!
Thanks for the info!! Every one that I've seen seems to be of some age, so I assume they were no longer awarded after a period of time (end of WWII?). Do we know if that is the case? Also, can you tell me what the reverse says? Finally, you know what the next two questions are going to be...
Thanks a bunch again!

Hi everyone,
Here is mine that I just picked up. A Type II, Kosho version.
Ok, this is for Nick (LOL!), but if I have read correctly, pronunciation for Military Wound Badge is: Shoigunjinsho Also, if you could be so kind, could you provide the Kanji for it as well...
Thanks!

But I can't post them now since I am on this mobile nonsense ...

Hi everyone!
OK, you all know what I'm going to ask... LOL!
Can someone write the Kanji characters here so I can copy them into my database? Also, the Japanese pronunciation?
Thanks in advance!

Never mind! I found an online Japanese/English Dictionary and figured it out.

Just one more question...
What is the difference in "Kankoku" vs. "Kenkoku"? Or should I say, what do they mean?
Thanks again!

Thanks everyone! I think I got it all....
Korean Annexation Commemorative Medal = 韓国併合記念章 (Kankoku Heigou Kinen Shou)
National Shrine Foundation Commemorative Medal = 建國神廟創建記念章 (Kenkoku Shinbyou Souken Kinen Shou)
Right? LOL!
