Ed,can You say something about this medal.

I have one too (did I ever put it up here?), and have never been able to get much beyond what Dave has contributed. Afghan kingdom awards are, if anything, even more puzzling than PRDA awards!

Gentlemen,

The abovementioned certificate to French for the Rising Sun that went for GBP2,000 has found a very good home, I was the winning bidder. This is the certificate for the Grand Cordon of the Rising Sun with Pawlonia Leaves and was hand signed by the Taisho Emperor. It is a phenomenally rare certificate, the fact that it was awarded to French makes it more interesting but irrespective of the recipient it is a very rare item. I was prepared to go much much higher in price to get this so I was rather happy at the final bid.

Cheers,

Paul

Congratulations, Paul!

Sorry, my bad. I'll provide the complete translation very soon.

No just a summary is usually fine -- but this is a very neat recommendation!

It says a lot about the working and range of the system.

Belaruski, it is not only for "financial business". In citation it has mentioned that he was also in charge of sending official regret letters to the families of soldiers killed in action

Thanks for adding this. For me (and, I think, for most on this forum), just posting a Russian language document carries no meaning at all, unless accompanied by some summary (or even a translation) in English.

Isn't the greater challenge to find anything RIGHT about this presentation of perverse rampant fantasy?

Thanks, but seems to me, that this book is now more actual.

Yes, the book is "actual", it does exist, I have seen it, though I could not read a word in it it has pretty piuctures with illegible captions.
