White Eagle for Lord Keeper Tokudaiji Sanetsune Thanks to my friend Pieter we have an opportunity to examine full set for non-Christians (made by Keibel) with document ( ) issued in 1891 to Marquis Tokudaiji Sanetsune. Some bio info about our cavalier can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokudaiji_Sanetsune Additional awards and documents can be found here http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/55033-prince-sanetsune-tokudaiji-and-his-documents-for-25th-and-constitution-medals/ Let`s examine this rare treasure in every detail.

ERRATUM In post #203 sentence "Set (naturally for non-Christians with misplaced sash ribbon from St.Stanislaus order)" should be read "Set (naturally for non-Christians with misplaced sash ribbon from Alexander Nevsky order)"

Two separate threads One thread will be devoted to Qing and Warlords awards. The other one to puppet governments awards.

Image was send. Should we have a separate thread for Japanese with Chinese awards? Cheers, Nick

Definitely some of these groups are unbroken and carefully stored in japanese private collections Others could be in museums - check this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/46395-general-nogi/page__hl__%2Bgeneral+%2Bnogi (greatly unappreciated thread by the way!) for some of General Nogi awards. Thanks, Nick

Between 1890 and 1900 many japanese officers were send to Germany to study in military schools ;)

Not only he was awarded with type 4 wound badge, but also with quasi rare КВЖД guards commemorative badge!!!
