This is my Type II Japanese Sen' Sho Wound Badge. This badge is for wounds received in battle.

Thanks for the compliment. What do they sell for nowdays?

I haven't paid close attention to final sales prices, but they always seem to fetch between $100-$200 especially if they are cased and in nice condition. I know some of our members will be more familiar with the prices than I am.

These are exceptional awards to me. It really manages to capture the purpose of the award for me and has this feel of honour to it. Love it.

Now that I look at it closely, is that damage to the enamel at the bottom or was it made like that?

Hi Bob,

Of all of the badges and medals for some reason I have always liked these above all others. I hope to have one for my collection some day soon, real soon (if luck and the post office Gods are with me). I agree with Dieter3 these are pricey (ouch) but worth the money in my opinion.

This is a very nice specimen, is the "flaw" on the bottom arm just a lighting issue?

Regards

Brian
