    Sorry it's taking so long to get all of this info posted! Red Cross medals are the last category for the Japanese medals that I'm doing. These present somewhat of a challenge due to the large amount of variation across the member levels. I've only thus far analyzed basic membership medals and was surprised to see how relatively few of these show up on Yahoo! Japan compared to eBay. Granted, I'm only focused on solo pieces, not groups, but I don't think that would change things much anyway. Curiously, very few solo documents show up on eBay. Although I did try to keep track of the types of boxes, hallmarks, and materials used in construction, I did not really organize this in an easy way to make it presentable as data. About the only thing I can say is that earlier awards are definitely uncommon if not downright rare to find.
