    1. Nice doc. Medal "1914-20" was awarded on November 1, 1920 to 陸軍工兵特務曹長 - Army special duty military engineer sergeant major 小林由兵衞 - Yuhei Kobayashi He was also awarded with 7th class Rising Sun order and 7th class Golden Kite order. Photo (also quite nice, note the position of the marksmanship badge - this is early style of wearing, later these badges will be worn under the uniform pocket) depicted a different person. Best, Nick P.S. I am not very good in running hand handwriting. His name could be Gendō Tsūjirō and he is wearing 1894-95 Sino-Japanese War Medal.
    2. All medals were manufactured by Mint (approximately) between November 1930 and March 1932. Best, Nick
    3. Yes, the assembler's "legend" is clear ) The real problem of this medal bar is not even the total quality of assembly (questionable) or general wear (also questionable) but the missing medal of the Emperor Showa enthronement. Best, Nick

    19. Both badges are originals. Small early badge was made in heavy medal somewhere between 1933 and 1940 (badge belong to an unissued stock). Large one made in aluminum alloy after 1940. A couple of my badges.
    20. No. Sometimes auction houses describe breast stars with white enameled rays as "Type 1" or "early", but in all regulations (from 1960 up to the last one introduced in 2011) breast star of the order has always been described without any white enamel on the rays. Description from Decree No. 43055 published on July 8, 1960. Art. 4.º As insígnias da Ordem são: 1. Para os diversos graus: a) Cavaleiro. - Cruz singela, com 30 mm x 35 mm de braços, suspensa de fita com as cores da Ordem, de 30 mm, dividida em três partes iguais; b) Oficial. - A mesma insígnia, tendo sobre a fita uma roseta das mesmas cores, com 16 mm de diâmetro; c) Comendador. - Cruz da Ordem, de 55 mm x 65 mm, suspensa de fita pendente ao pescoço e placa de prata, a colocar ao peito, sobre o lado esquerdo. A placa, em forma de resplendor de raios, tem ao centro um círculo de esmalte branco, carregado com a cruz da Ordem, contido por listel circular negro realçado de ouro com o mote Talant de bien faire em caracteres dourados; d) Grande-oficial. - Insígnias iguais às de comendador com placa dourada, a colocar ao peito, sobre o lado esquerdo; e) Grã-cruz. - Banda de seda, com as cores da Ordem, tendo pendente sobre o laço a cruz com as dimensões indicadas na alínea c) do n.º 1 deste artigo; placa dourada, igual à de grande-oficial, a colocar ao peito, sobre o lado esquerdo. Current regulation (introduced on March 2, 2011) 2 — As insígnias do Grande -Colar da Ordem do Infante D. Henrique são as seguintes: a) Colar formado por cruzes singelas da Ordem, de20 mm, alternadas e encadeadas com duas capelas de carrasqueira secantes e douradas, com 35 mm × 36 mm; o colar tem pendente e encadeada por uma capela de carrasqueira dourada a cruz da Ordem, com 55 mm × 65 mm; b) Banda de seda das cores da Ordem, com largura de 100 mm para homem e de 60 mm para senhora, posta a tiracolo da direita para a esquerda, tendo pendente sobre o laço o distintivo com 55 mm × 26 mm; c) Placa dourada, com 75 mm de diâmetro, em forma de resplendor de raios, tendo ao centro um círculo de esmaltebranco carregado da cruz da Ordem, contido por listel circular negro, realçado a ouro, com o mote «Talant de bien faire», em caracteres dourados. 3 — As insígnias dos restantes graus da Ordem do Infante D. Henrique são as seguintes: a) Grã -Cruz: banda de seda das cores da Ordem, comlargura de 100 mm para homem e de 60 mm para senhora, posta a tiracolo da direita para a esquerda, tendo pendente sobre o laço o distintivo com 55 mm × 26 mm; e placa dourada, com 75 mm de diâmetro, em forma de resplendor de raios, tendo ao centro um círculo de esmalte branco carregado da cruz da Ordem, contido por listel circular negro, realçado a ouro, com o mote «Talant de bien faire», em caracteres dourados; b) Grande -Oficial: o distintivo da Ordem, de tamanhoidêntico ao da Grã -Cruz, suspenso de fita pendente dopescoço, com largura de 30 mm, ou de laço, de 40 mm, para as senhoras, e placa igual à de Grã -Cruz; c) Comendador: insígnia idêntica à de Grande -Oficial, com placa prateada; d) Oficial: cruz singela, com 30 mm × 35 mm, suspensa de fita, de 30 mm, com fivela dourada, ou de laço, da mesma largura, para as senhoras, e tendo sobre a fivela ou sobre o nó do laço uma roseta das cores da fita com 10 mm de diâmetro; e) Cavaleiro ou Dama: insígnia idêntica à de Oficial, sem roseta. So this "white rays" anomaly could be created by the manufacturer. By the way, both these breast stars were manufactured by Lisbon workshop Pinhão.
    21. Nice orders. I recently added 4th class rising sun order to my "type 2003 collection". These are quite thick "build to last" quality pieces. Best, Nick
