Georg14 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Many thanks! And one more question please: where it's possible to see a general view of this medal(with ribbon, case)? Best regards, Georg. Edited June 1, 2010 by Georg14
RichC Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 I don't think this had a ribbon. It may have had a pin-back suspension attached by a metal ring, though. This looks to be a badge that was worn by the census takers. See here for different versions: http://www.imperialjapanmedalsandbadges.com/census.html Or perhaps there was no suspension bar but just a pin assembly like the photo in the middle of that linked page shows. Cheers, Rich
