Linasl Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Greetings All. I just purchased what I believe is a WW2 Japanese Military medal, award or insignia. I have no idea what this is for, so ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached two photos, which I hope come out clear, for you to review. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

alex82 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hello Linas This is a Rosette of the Imperial Time Expired Soldiers League badge. They come in many different colors and I don't know the category of yours. I used the Book "in the Name of a Living god" by Paul L. Murphy and Steven L. Ackley to identify this badge, it has 8 pages only about this badge and its variants. If you are planing to buy more Japanese badges I suggest you get a copy of the book. cheers a l e x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linasl Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thank you Alex. I though don't understand the "Time Expired" part. Can you help me? Or does it mean "Veterans"? Thanks again. Linas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi Linas, yes, this was one of the largest veteran's groups in Japan. Send me a PM if you are interested in a copy of the book since it is the only reference work on the subject. regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
