Manchukuo Border Incident War Medal

[Stu W]

Hi Guys,

I have the option of adding this one to my collection and after having studied it in hand and compared it to those depicted in the O.M.S.A. monograph titled "Orders and Medals of Japan and Associated States (Third Edition) I'm feeling it's a keeper. Interestingly it appears to be the less often found Small Dove version although that may not be easily seen without posting a side by side with the other version to compare it with. Anyone have concerns with regards to this one?

Regards,

Stu

Looks nice! I'd like to know more about the little stand upon which it sits!

This is indeed the small dove type. The two types do not seem to command any difference in price but who knows how that may change in the future.

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the confirmation on the small dove type. As always your assistance is appreciated.

Dieter3...the stand you see it sitting upon is acrylic and available quite inexpensively from a fellow I am acquainted with over on the WAF. I do not have his particulars immediately at hand but will add them in here later today.

This picture I am going to attach now has nothing to do with Japanese awards but will show you the stands in greater detail. They fit almost all TR and Japanese awards I have come across.

Regards,

Stu
