      Well, do you still have any doubts about this Kite? ;)

      We will start from second photo

      These photos are very unrelieble material… It’s all about angles. Allow me to show you dear colleagues the following compilations and you will see that. The source of Paul`s confiedence is obvious

      I know man and I am very sorry for that, there was some kind glitch (was trying for 15 minutes to sort it out) I will post reverse tomorrow from another computer. Cheers, Nick

      Hope it will help you, because it didn’t help me Anyway it’s nice that you made a photo comment (at last!) about my kite classification. Although your timing for this comment looks kinda strange

      Well. This kite looks like type 2 (or 3? or 6? ) As I said it’s not easy to determine … I made this photo compilation for you dear Paul.

      Nice isn’t it? Another man with kite and only one campaign medal and this medal is 1895 campaign medal! Could you believe this? Let’s take a close look at this medal bar.

      Ok. So I was browsing my scan library and suddenly something interesting happened. I found scan of this photo.

      I think this is type 1 (in classification for 3rd classes). At least from these photos Nope. I don’t think that it is good idea to use these pictures as 100% solid material for attribution. Because of visual perception issues…

      And that’s how 3rd classes look like.

      Well I gotta tell you – this photo sure makes my attribution disputable. That’s why I decided to look through my photo library and try to attribute this or that piece. Not an easy task – that is for sure. Most photos don’t permit more or less accurate attribution (most of them look like type 5 and 6 – even 3rd classes!) Here comes two good examples.

      And I practically forgot about this sweeping statement Dear colleagues please take a close look at this specimen. Not in the mood for another 8th class? Well you really should, cause they don’t make them like that anymore (for 110+ years at least ).

      I hope that Paul will provide photos of this after-war-no-enamel-on-reverse piece (at least!) and some evidence about dating of this piece (that will be really nice).
    23. JapanX
      Well isn’t nice?! I will take a liberty to remind Paul that “making sweeping statements without any hard evidence will not help anyone gain a better understanding of the subject, nor indeed will it do anything to enhance your own credibility”. You certainly got it right this time Paul!!!
