Japanese Red Cross Society 25th Anniversary Celebration Commemorative Jetton/Watch Fob https://asiamedals.info/threads/japanese-red-cross-society-25th-anniversary-celebration-commemorative-jetton.24337/ The case is original.

Eleven years later?! Traditional Chinese 滿洲國 - Mǎn zhōu guó Simplified Chinese 满洲国 - Mǎn zhōu guó Shinjitai 満洲国 - Mǎn zhōu guó 滿 = 满 = 満 https://asiamedals.info/threads/manchukuo-red-cross-society-ordinary-member-watch-fob.24410/ https://asiamedals.info/forums/manchukuo-red-cross-society-medals-and-badges.702/

Note: Both terms are used. 盃 - Sakazuki. A Japanese cup for drinking saké. 軍盃 - Military Sakazuki or Gunpai.

Excerpt for the flag this is a standard Manchukuo service cup with standard lines: Manchukuo Border Defense + Discharge Commemorative https://asiamedals.info/threads/inscriptions-of-japanese-military-sake-cups-sakazuki.25889/ So why such an unusual flag? Typically there should be Manchukuo or Japanese flag (or both). Guess he could serve on the border with Inner Mongolia and decided to use colors of early Mengjiang flag (1936–1939). Although colors order is wrong.

Un homme très, très chanceux...

This is a privately commissioned cross. Looks like it was made in Moscow by unidentified manufacturer "Н.Д" in white metal sometime around 1916/1917. Regarding the absence of number and class Ribbon bar and ribbon have nothing to do with Imperial Russia. Most likely both were taken from the soviet medal.

8th class Rising Sun order awarded for the Russo-Japanese war. Issued on April 1, 1906. Army transportation corps. Bearer Shohachi Okumura.

Yes, original.

Is it the same breast star? If these photos were made by the seller he could sent you (most likely by mistake) a different star.

Of course it has M mark Most likely this case was manufactured before 1938 https://asiamedals.info/threads/silver-kanji-vs-gold-kanji-lettering-on-the-lids-of-the-japanese-order-cases.26112/ But such set could be awarded in 1938/1939/1940. Yes, indeed. Best, Nick

Yes, of course https://asiamedals.info/threads/how-to-read-dates-in-chinese-award-documents.23570/ Somehow I mechanically type the numbers 六十三/63 and 七十二/72 instead of converting them.

Ces deux sont des originaux. Moderne et sans intérêt du point de vue d'un collectionneur. Mais presque tout le reste est faux.

Nice watch fob. Well-worn. All original silvering is almost completely gone (stamp is also interesting - different stamp variation https://asiamedals.info/threads/china-incident-commemorative-badges-and-watch-fobs.22957/page-7#post-359368) The traces of silvering are still visible. Best, Nick

These ink stamps serve two purposes: help the correct alignment of the lid and the base of the case and (sometimes) indicate the manufacturer of the badge. The most popular ink stamp is kanji 合 - fit, joint. Best, Nick

Nice badge made by Gyokuhō /玉寶堂/ in Tokyo. As we know one of the main manufacturers of Women's Patriotic Association badges https://asiamedals.info/threads/special-supporter-member-badge-of-womens-patriotic-association.25981/ Workshop was also an official purveyor to the Imperial Household Ministry /宮内省御用達/ No wonder it received so many different contracts https://asiamedals.info/threads/good-attendance-commendation-badge-from-tokyo-railway-bureau.14606 https://asiamedals.info/threads/construction-of-the-imperial-volunteer-fleet-donation-badges.24689 Etc, etc, etc. Best, Nick

Looks ok. At least judging by these photos. Lost its removable shield with numbers, but it could be worse.

Shako eagle from 1833-1857 time period.

Nice one. Looks like it has typical for Japanese orders "cataract of the enamel" https://asiamedals.info/threads/when-japanese-orders-are-getting-sick.12614 Best, Nick P.S. Judging by the mark it was issued somewhere around 1982-1983.

Outer case is original. Inscription was added by owner or somebody else (it duplicates inscription of the lacquered case). Best, Nick
