      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.

      The reverses are shown with the kanji inscriptions.  I do not have the exact translations of either one and would appreciate it if anyone can help with that.  Thanks very much in advance.

      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/.

      ... 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.
