This is his St. Vladimir order (no exact date but I think all these orders he recieved somewhere around 1813/1814) This is defintely St.Vladimir (thanks to the portrait by Carl Vilhelm Nordgren). No info about his Nevsky but I have a date for his order of St. George 4th class. He received it "for distinctionsin the wars with Napoleon" on October 8, 1813 (No. 2712 according to the Grigorovich - Stepanov list of cavaliers). Med vennlig hilsen, Nick

Yes, he definitely was a cavalier of St.Anna order. No exact date but here comes a little compensation. The very same breast star of St.Anna order that belonged to him.

Yes Alex, this is order of rising sun of 2003 + type. Ex 5th class. The new name for this class is 旭日双光章/Kyokujitsu sōkōshō/ Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays

This is not the actual document, but the scroll with the image of the document. Such scrolls were sold to the cavaliers of the medal unfilled (i.e. without the document number and the name of the cavalier) so they can proundly display them on holidays at home. Best, Nick

陸軍步兵少尉 - infantry second lieutenant 浦井長支 - Urai Nagao /// 當家六代目 - 6th generation of the home (family?) /// "Could each recipient of the enthronement medal claim to receive this type of document" No, I don`t think so. Best, Nick

This medal was issued by 日枝神社 - Hie Shrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hie_Shrine Reverse reads 大禮記念章 - Enthronement Commemorative Medal.' 日枝神社 - Hie Shrine 平成二年十一月 - November 1990 + mark 純銀 - pure silver Best, Nick

Crown is a usual story for such badges. 賞 - award Most likely some kind sport or society badge.

Special supporting member badge from Minatogawa Shrine society.

If the kite is 6th class then yes, it should be placed before the sun and treasure. If it is 7th class then everything is in correct order.

Unidentifiable without reverse.

Only dry red wine and a whole lot of it. Too old for volka + never really liked it anyway Take care of yourself, Paul.

In this case precedence doesn`t really matter. It`s a bogus bar.

This order was issued somewhere between 1979 and 2003.

Russo-Japanese War - Meiji 37-8. War Service Commemorative. Mie Prefecture.

Vince, I am not a dealer. As for the "relieble dealer" - in US ebay will be your best choice . Regards, Nick

But beware, not every four riverts construction treasure came from before ww2 time period. Yes.

Yes, all orders without riversts belong to the after-war time period. This particular order came from Meiji/Taisho epoch.

6th class 1940+ . Most likely afterwar vintage. 8th class belong to the same time period. The main difference is in the pure unblended greed. These prices are outrageus (putting it mildly)

Doesnt`t look like a Thai person to me.
