    1. Certainly not your usual mint-made medal but die casting was used from time to time by private manufacturers. In fact this medal was made by joining two halves. Each half was die casted.
    2. You will find first original edition published in "Leavenworth papers" back in 1981 here https://asiamedals.info/threads/badges-and-watch-fobs-of-nomonhan-incident-battle-of-khalkhin-gol-nomonhan.18535
    3. Yes, educational poster for children. See also Most likely it was printed during early 1930s. Definitely before 1936.
    4. Card from Army Minister Yoshiyuki Kawashima dated September 16, 1935 regarding Saga prefecture national defense association air defense maneuvers with the use of large air sound detectors Type 90 that will take place on September 25, 1935.
    5. 49,7 kb vs. 40 kb. In fact, previous photos are better.
    6. This is probably the best move at this point.
    7. Looks like a typical Cravanzola-made cross. Most likely some kind of a technical marks that were used by manufacturer/manufacturers. Orders of the Crown with marks "T2", "O", "GD" are also known. Best, Nick
    8. Both look nice. Officially issued medals (light bronze medals to combatants; copper medals to noncombatants). Best, Nick
    9. Yes, this one is ok. Made by ДНД workshop = DND = Nikolay Dmitrievich Degtyarev.
    10. In this case you might find this interesting https://asiamedals.info/threads/medals-for-bravery-made-by-dmitry-kuchkin-factory-medali-za-xrabrost-proizvodstva-fabriki-dmitrija-kuchkina.26560/ Regards, Nick
    11. In Imperial Russia any awardee could buy additional exemplar of his award from a private workshop (because his original medal was lost, damaged or because of any other reason). Number and class are missing because the manufacturer "left them to the buyer". Privately commissioned medal will be (or won't - it all depends on the desire of the owner) privately engraved (by awardee or professional engraver) with appropriate number and class. Best, Nick
    12. Original privately-commissioned medal that was made in Moscow somewhere around 1914 - 1916 by Dmitry Kuchkin workshop.
    13. This is 50th Anniversary of Mongolian People's Republic Defense Assistance Society commemorative medal. Small badge - Shortwave radio amateur radio operator sport club.
    14. Everything that is known about this mark (for today) https://asiamedals.info/threads/mark-hi-on-japanese-orders-and-medals-when-and-who.22787/
    15. Case is original. Cross made in light metal alloy or silvered bronze. It belongs to the August 1941+ time period.
    16. Sorry, missed this one. Pink ribbon (and flat ribbon clasp) is from very early vintage. Approximately 1890-1910. Case and pink button rosette most likely from the same set. Badge is from 1929+ time period. Regards, Nick
    17. Merit = 勛 = 勲 Traditional 勛 Simplified 勋 Japanese 勲 Korean 勳 Best, Nick
    18. Right style of inscription was in use until 1930s (in fact even late 1930s) so it shouldn`t be automatically associated with only Meiji/Taisho eras. Yes. Different kanji. Kanji 勲 - merit; meritorious deed. Best, Nick
    19. Very rare two Russian Imperial orders for Non-Christians that were awarded to Shimazu Tadayoshi https://asiamedals.info/threads/orders-of-st-alexander-nevsky-and-white-eagle-for-non-christians-of-shimazu-tadayoshi.25592/. Tsarevich Nicholas himself handed them over to Shimazu Tadayoshi on behalf of Emperor Alexander III. Best, Nick
    20. A small addition. His name translated into English not as Zhejiang Fù but Fu Shiyue. https://asiamedals.info/threads/restoration-of-public-order-in-the-suburbs-of-the-capital-of-zhejiang-province-commemorative-medal.26470/ One character from obverse inscription is also missing. Almost not readable but this is 整. Regards, Nick
