      Now what are these badges? Originals or post-war replicas? It`s quite understandable to me why these badges look suspecious to our colleagues. First of all they often can be found in this brand new boxes

      Reverse inscription is hard to read, but it`s obvious that this badge has engraved (!!!) insciption and riverted star (!!!). Two kanji on the lefy look like name "Ikeda" (thanks Chris! )

      Reverse (for view with raised needle see posts #163-164)

      Interesting that badge on the left (in the post #162) with original pin have practically "normal rays" See?
    13. JapanX
      "Our" badge indeed has rays that penetrated the feather array at the top and no signs of riverting
    14. JapanX
      Very interesting point of view was expressed recently regarding badge in posts #161-164 and #175-178. It is fake because a) rays penetrate the feather array at the top and b) the star is brazed onto the badge, not riveted. Let`s discuss this These are the places we are currently interested "Normal" rays "Nomal" riveted star
