JapanX Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Cerificate has number 486 469!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 486 469 Incredibly low number! Especially if we remember that according to Peterson “… 1 067 492 awards in all grades were made…” (3rd edition, p. 19) This means that 581 023 were issued after January 12, 1945. For real?! Now allow me to remind you that in 1945 japan mint manufactured only 28 kites and in previous six years (from 1938 to 1944) only (approximately) 336 000. Another number 235 670 - this is total number of Meiji and Taisho Kites. Let`s substruct from January 12, 1945 number total number of Meiji and Taisho Kites. 486 469 - 235 670 = 250 799 Now let`s substract this number from (approximate) total number of kites manufactured between 1938 and 1945 336 028 - 250 799 = 85 229 Looks like our carry-over storage on January 12, 1945 was just 85 229 Kites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Now we have two time coordinates for type 3. Type 3.1 - April 1940 Type 3.2 - January 1945 To say nothing about number of Golden Kites that were issued between these two dates Doc from April 1940 has number 264 416 Doc from January 1945 has number 486 469 222053 Kites were issued during this time period.

JapanX Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Almost forgot! Remember this legend about late war kites? Late war kite = sandblasted reverse. Well, say goodbye to this one Reverse of the Kite from 1945 Edited June 30, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopis Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Nick, today I read on a Russian forum (http://sammler.ru/index.php?showtopic=137092&st=40) that your gorgeous 3rd class kites (posts #58-59) are "from a collection of a well-known collector from Ukraine" ("...из собрания известного коллекционера с Украины"). I was under the impression that you are a Muscovite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Damn! Here I am. Dressed reaaaaaly sharp, in the best of spirits, as pretty as picture (from recent issue of Journal on Alcoholism and Related Addictions). All about spending my Christmas in dankly Moscow town! And all of the sudden I am in Ukraine! Well, at least I am "well-known" P.S. Don't worry, last time I checked they enthusiastically weight fake ribbon for Taiwan medal. I bet they are weighting something right this second Edited December 27, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopis Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Well, now they flew away from Ukraine - didn't know that kites are migratory birds Edited December 26, 2013 by utopis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I am no more Ukrainian?! Can you believe it? "Somebody" (more like "nobody" ) changed "from a collection of a well-known collector from Ukraine" ("...из собрания известного коллекционера с Украины") to "...and also excellent specimens of 3rd class golden Kite" ("...а также отличные экземпляры 3-их степеней Золотого Сокола") Damn! Now there is no "well-known collector" is sight Self-propelled clowns ... Edited December 26, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taganrog Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Nick, today I read on a Russian forum (http://sammler.ru/index.php?showtopic=137092&st=40) that your gorgeous 3rd class kites (posts #58-59) are "from a collection of a well-known collector from Ukraine" ("...из собрания известного коллекционера с Украины"). I was under the impression that you are a Muscovite It was incorrect (error) information. Photos Golden kites Nicholas Japan X and photos Golden kites Collector of Ukraine are very similar because the same black background. This information is corrected. http://sammler.ru/index.php?showtopic=137092&st=40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
