Indeed a perfect fit. This veteran obviously didn`t care much about any rules )
Manchukuo National Foundation Merit Medal stands before all Japanese medals.

Of the "China Incident War Medal" and "Great East Asia War" only one could be awarded.
Perfectly possible combination for a post-war veteran medal bar/ribbon bar.
Another example (from my personal collection).

Using the Medals of Asia website for information about the M mint mark and silver vs. gold kanji allows me to say this about dating this 2nd Class set: the neck badge and breast star are between March of 1930 and April of 1943, and the gold kanji puts the case up to sometime in 1940 at the latest, assuming that the set was indeed issued in the case and thereby using the M mint mark time coordinates to derive a terminus ante quem for the case. If the set was indeed issued in the case, then I would put the date between March of 1930 and sometime into 1940 at the latest.
Sorry, missed this paragraph. As mentioned earlier breast star and neck badge belong to /approximately/ 1936-1940 time.
As for the case, neck ribbon and miniature rosette - all three belong to the 1960+ time period. Most likely previous owner (or dealer) decided to "freshen up" this set.
The correct case for such set should look like this
After 1937/1938 silver inscription (with golden paulownia) is possible.
Best,
Nick

Rare set that was issued somewhere around 1936-1940.

Yes, it certainly is.
This nice Kite was manufactured by the Mint during 1930s/early 1940s.

We don`t need any proof since it is inside the 1942 regulation.
He was not obliged to wear both, but could wear both.

Excellent specimen in near mint condition.
Pity that sticker with the name of awardee was removed from the case.

Ok, and the chance that the 2nd one is real?
Chance is close to 100 percent.
P.S. A little correction to an old thread that Tracy mentioned above. All "flat reverse" sacred treasures belong to the 1960s-1981 time period. Although there are documented groups with this order variation that are formally awarded in 1944 /and even in 1943/ but in fact they were all issued during early 1960s /post-war awardings/.

Both birdies are from Meiji era.

All kites belong to the 1895-1910s time period.
Second medal bar (with Dragon of Annam) looks very nice.
First medal bar (with two kites) almost certainly a modern compilation /the "base" could be original by both kites were added later).

Do you have general photos of reverses of both medal bars?

... the commemorative medal is of course uncased.
Wrapping paper would be a correct "case" for the commemorative one.
Medal looks original. Only the ribbon of commemorative is a modern replacement and suspension ring could be resoldered/glued.

This case belong to the 1920s/late 1930s time period.
3rd class Sacred Treasure with mark M would be ideal for such case https://asiamedals.info/threads/3rd-class-sacred-treasure-order-marked-m-issued-on-january-14-1938.24285/

No, this is something else. Geometry of the rays and central medallion are obviously different.

Most likely this is not 皿 but 四.

Yes, nice (and actually issued) 4th class Golden Kite order made by Japanese Mint after 1936. Looks like once it was inside a medal bar.
