Not everyone, but those who faultlessly served in navy aviation for 10 and more years or others branches of navy for 20 and more years or were previously awarded with RF decorations.

Looks like one mark is visible on reverse ...
56?!
If so, then this is very strange, since 56 is gold mark

A 3rd Class Lion and Sun order medal by French maker Pouteau.

Could you give us the name of the badge, so I can at least google image search it hehehehe
"Honored Worker of MVD"
It was introduced in 1946.
In 1940-1946 its name was "Honored Worker of NKVD"
In 1962-1968 its name was "Honored Worker of MOOP"

This "somebody" is right
Unknown "engineer" took base (basic oval + sword) from МООП badge (1962-1968) and combined it with hammer and sickle with МВД inscription on the band from different badge
The simplest test - different red enamel on band and centre of the badge.
Another - wrongly attached "whiskers" on reverse (they should be in horizontal position) + obvious signs of old whiskers on reverse.

... what is your problem?
Nice Manieren you have dear Uwe!
P.S. It was slightly unusual for me to observe watermarked photo of fake order. That's all. It was a simple observation.

Well, maybe it's time to create a separate thread completely devoted to this swordsmanship badge and its variations?
What do you think guys?
If it's ok with you I'll make one on Saturday

Thanks Oleg!
Precise description of color schemes for NCO badge, 1st class badge and 2nd class badge.
Interesting that official name of this brown color (that is so typical for japanese badges) is copper and not bronze
But we still have a problem with two undescribed badges
a) completely silver one without any inscriptions on reverse (made in light white alloy)
b) completely copper one without any inscriptions on reverse (made in same alloy as previous - only this one is completely painted glossy brown)
These two undescribed badges belong to late 30s/early 40s period of time (judging be materials used and their construction).

... dark patina... It's not as uncommon as one would think.
Yes, same story of Lenin's ...

More like "let's make a brooch out of persian made lion&sun order"

Got it Oleg!
So it is not simply "air personnel", but more like "air crew", "flying personnel" or "flight personnel".
:beer:

I did find this on Rich's website. Sorry, couldn't post the link...
Yes, as Oleg already noted, this is not original regulation, but a page from army manual brochure.
As far as I understand it describes three classes for this badge
NCO badge (silver with gold rim)
1st class (yours)
2nd class (same as yours - only with non-silvered helmet)
The problem is that there are later badges without any inscriptions on reverse and with different color schemes.
My guess - regulation was changed somewhere around 1939...

So, it is actually a Swordsmanship Proficiency Badge
Yes, at least judging by its original name
Most likey it was awarded to NCOs for their "swordsmanship skills" and to privates for their "bayonet skills" ;)

Thanks Oleg!
So it is Kenjutsu badge
On your picture we observe 2nd class badge for privates (same color scheme except for non-silvered helmet
) P.S. Any traces of original regulation? Actually there should be (at least!) two regulations (early and later one).

Yep, 1st class badge for privates (?)

Orders of Rising Sun and Sacred Treasure: to whom and for what
in Japan
Posted
Found this exellent info about orders that were awarded to foreigners during last 5 years.
The most interesting part is citations, correlation between rank/post and orders class and age of cavalier.
Source of info - rolls of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
