Dieter3 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 The photos aren't the best, but here are two recent acquisitions. Pretty run of the mill as orders go, but I was happy to get 'em! The 5th class order is near mint, later issue (screws, not rivets). The 8th has some toning/tarnish, but remains in pretty nice condition overall.

Brian Wolfe Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 While I don't collect the medals of Japan these two could make me change my mind. A couple of very nice items thanks for sharing them with us. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryptos Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 What a quality Dieter. That must be impossible to upgrade. An excellent addition. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks! For the age it is very good. It has a few small flaws but all in all I'm quite pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Been looking for a nice one of these for a while, finally found one I liked. Case has a bit of abrading on the exterior, but the interior and the medal itself more than made up for it! One thing I'd like to know is whether or not a document was issued with these. My guess is yes, but I've never seen one so I simply don't know. Paul? Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is yes, but I've never seen one so I simply don't know. Paul? Anybody? Yes, there was an award document. I have one in a group of medals which I have so I must get round to taking a photo of it and posting it here. It is very hard indeed to find these documents, far harder to find them than the medal.

Dieter3 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yes, there was an award document. I have one in a group of medals which I have so I must get round to taking a photo of it and posting it here. It is very hard indeed to find these documents, far harder to find them than the medal. I figured there would have been one. I know Peterson makes mention of a woman's version on bow, would love to see one of these too, never have. I'd imagine this would fetch a seriously pretty penny!!! Paul, does the document show an image of the medal at the bottom? If so, I'm wondering if an award document to a woman would show this with a bow, like say a Sacred Treasure doc. would show. (same question on the 2600th Anniversary document - I know that image is on the doc., but have never seen a document for a woman's medal - does it show a bow in the image??)

I have documents for the 1904-05 War Medal and various Red Cross awards to female recipients and none of them show the medal with a bow. I would be surprised if they did show a bow but all the certificates I have seen for these medals are to male recipients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
