    1. Simply google 中朝友谊纪念章 1954 and see for yourself. Chinese analogue of mondvor site doesn`t exist.
    2. Reverse reads 中朝友谊纪念章 1954 China - DPRK Friendship Medal But unfortunately this is a modern chinese fake.
    3. I think photo was made somewhere between 1906 and 1909
    4. He died January 11, 1920 Looks like lieutenant-colonel.
    5. Nice photo. His actual name is 井上仁郎 Inouye, Niro Later photo https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/井上仁郎 Most likely 5th class kite (4th class is another theoretical possibility) I wonder why he didn`t wear his "Constitution" on later photo.

      Japanese regalia

      Yea, right. For tea ceremony
    7. Yep, you`re right. So they could mix up the transfer press moulds
    8. The modern one (issued in 2004 / Heisei 16) 藤芳郎 Fujiro

      Exellent info, Pieter! Hope you are well. Regards, Nick
    10. The last one (7th class sacred treasure for the R-J war) 勅命ッ陸軍兵軍曹大岡鶴ー Imperial Army Sergeant Oka Tsuru
    11. For the first doc that was issued Showa 2 正七位 - Senior Seventh Rank 高橋雄五 - Takahashi Yugo For second doc, that was issued Showa 12 正七位 - Senior Seventh Rank 田中末次 - Sawaji Tanaka
    12. Nice badge, Tom. 射較手優賞三重高農 Shooter Award from Agricultural and Forestry School of Mie Prefecture This school was founded in 1921 and abolished in 1951. Best, Nick
    13. Looks like somebody made a mistake by soldering it in the wrong place
    14. Unfortunately original regulation for this badge is still unknown.
    15. This rising sun order came from 1980+ time period. EK is a technical mark of japanese mint. Regards, Nick
    16. Yes, this is Showa piece with correct case. This order was made before the end of WW2. The earlier cases have "7th class Kinshisho" whereas the later (Showa) cases have "7th class Kinshikunsho" inscription. So the earlier inscription is shorter by one character. Best, Nick
    17. George, it`s a fantasy fake. It combines elements of real chinese awards from republican (and warlord) period. + The enamel looks terrible and reverse has uneven surface. Best, Nick
    18. It looks quite nice, although I`ve never seen this variation before. Original regulation for this badge
