Descriprion

Only it is 3rd class

Damn right! This is certainly one of the possible reasons for such price ...

I'd say this brest star went underpriced ;)

Certanly not our usual "badge" Here you will find more of them Rich http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/54491-the-order-of-rank-and-merit-its-origins-classes-and-recipients/

Another Golden Grain cavaier Jiro Minami

Another breast star of clouds

Tsssss!

Oooops Why? Yea, right

Let's put it this way - it's not Aisin-Gioro collar, Hirohito collar or Ferdinand I collar... Bet you are thinking - it is a crime and shame not to put such treasure at eBay

Why? It is obtainable of course. Even in original case Unfortunately we are talking about 6-digit sum

Deformation :)

Very nice Collar and Gordon. Breast star has typical white enamel cracks. "Typical" for Chrysanthemum and Sacred treasure orders (natural consequences of deformation of the rays) Most likely Ferdinand I received both of them simultaneously. Strangely enough wiki completely ignores his Japanese orders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_I_of_Romania P.S. I remember these from your excellent old thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/34663-orders-of-a-royal-couple/?hl=%2Bking+%2Bferdinand%26%2339%3Bs

Monkey biz at its best! Another example http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/46791-sellers-beware/?hl=dishonest

The seller was right - this nice urushi came from March of 1955. A small article about urushi can be found here http://ijaponesque.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/what_is_urushi_08-04-12.pdf

and a very nice example I must add!

Yes, his descriptions are a little bit tricky. Especially when you are looking only at the titles WW2 JAPANESE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN KITE 4TH CLASS MEDAL-EXCELLENT CONDITION-BEAUTI (#281095231869) US $255.00 or WW2 JAPANESE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN KITE 3TH CLASS MEDAL-EXCELLENT CONDITION-BEAUTI The reasons for such blurred description of straight replica "Uncertain if this piece is original or a reproduction, is a very high quality piece." are quite obvious. Interesting responses From this On examination, clearly a reproduction piece. Obvious from the weight alone. Buyer: e***b ( 218) Dec-02-13 12:37 WW2 JAPANESE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN KITE 4TH CLASS MEDAL-EXCELLENT CONDITION-BEAUTI (#281187737881) to this the item is highly recommended and a very nice piece - thanks WW2 JAPANESE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN KITE 4TH CLASS MEDAL-EXCELLENT CONDITION-BEAUTI (#281101891016) US $305.00 and sometimes (but only with dragon balls and bootlegs ) he has communication problems Never received the product. And never contacted back. Buyer: m***c ( 3 ) Jul-11-13 17:38 Dragon Ball Poster A3 (#281108765267) Burned bootleg, no communication but I got a refund after several attempts. Buyer: e***.
