Paul L Murphy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The larger badge is from the Meiji era, the smaller badge is from the Showa era. Not sure when the changeover took place but it was in the 1930s. The 1928 regulations show the large badge but the 1940 regulations show the small one. If you are serious about collecting these badges then you should buy my book "In the Name of a Living God" since it explains them all. You can send me a PM if interested. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
