fjcp Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I was wondering if somebody could help me. I'm trying to determine which variation this medal is. I have included a comparison picture, but even that hasn't made it 100% clear to me yet.I believe it is the "small kite" variation but I might be wrong.Thanks in advance!JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul L Murphy Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 It is the "small kite" version. A nice find, these are very difficult to get hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Beat me to it. I was about to ask the same question myself having just picked up this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjcp Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 It is the "small kite" version. A nice find, these are very difficult to get hold of.Thank you Paul, for the confirmation. It's always nice to get an expert opinion in these matters!Gordon, I think it's fair to say that yours is also a "small kite" variation!Lucky US!!!!

Paul L Murphy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Nice one as well Gordon. I actually still do not have one of these in my own collection since I have always ended up selling the one that I get ! I need to hold onto one of them at some stage.

Gordon Williamson Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've been trying to keep to purely Japanese (big enough challenge on its own) as opposed to drifting into the associated states as well, but I couldn't resist this one, especially as it was so reasonably priced.

Ed_Haynes Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 OK, I am confused. I may be stupid. (My wife has an opinion here.) Which is this? Just in, cased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjcp Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi Ed,I had a look at mine, and ours are identical.So that would make yours a "small birdie" variation also!Maybe Paul Murphy will correct me but I think I'm right!Cheers.JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks. That is what I had THOUGHT, but . . . ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 As I said, the specimen I just got came cased. But, as I do some reading, I now have some doubts that the case matches. And, here, I am linguisitically clueless. Help!!The case is a dark maroopn-brown, though it doesn't look thus in the scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Bad news Ed, this is the case for the China Incident War Medal. The case from Nomohan is either red or yellow (I cannot remember which and all my notes are in transit at the moment). Regards,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks, Paul, That it what I thought/feared . . . .But I do have a China Incident Medal without a home . . . until now.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjcp Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Ed, Here is a picture of my rather battered case, but it's what's on the inside that counts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
