Can someone please answer a question for me regarding the japanese wound badge? From what I understand, there are 2 classes: The gold colored "Sen-Sho" for wounds received in battle and the silver "Ko'Sho" for non-combat realated situations. Apparently the difference is also determined by the "characters" located on the back. My question is this: Are these awards color specific along with the character on the back? That is, does only the gold badge have the "Sen-Sho" character on the back? I have located one of these badges that is gold, but has the "Ko'Sho" character on the back. Is this possible? Is this an original badge? or is this a scam? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanking anyone who may be able to answer this. With Respect! Kyle
