JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Today special – fakes. Here is a little appetizer (classic chinese cuisine – nothing special, but nice and fresh design of rising sun breast star).
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Pay special attention to the central cabochon. In our fake manufacturing fabric we are not saving on enamel works. Be careful - you can kill somebody with this thing.
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 But the main dish (and real stimulus for this topic) is this 2nd class of rising sun order set. Very nice quality. Let’s take a close look at this set.
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Box (pay special attention to the box clasp – rings a bell isn’t it?).
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Is it fake? Yep. I think this is not original piece. Is it made to claim as original? I have doubts about the last one. Too nice quality. Actually very well made piece. Quality of manufacturing bears a strong resemblance to modern japanese miniatures. Of course there are numerous slip ups. The diameter of superimposed enameled star, reverts, form of the pin, form of hieroglyphs on badge and star, box layout, ribbon material, etc …
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) So here are three possible versions about origin of this piece. Version № 1 This set was made for collectors (but than why there are no usual declaimer on reverse – like we have in case of Kites???) Version № 2 This set was made as double for lost original set or as second day-to-day set by the receptor. Day-to-day replica? Version № 3 This set was made as fake to be sold as original to satisfy collector demand. Edited October 29, 2011 by JapanX
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) What's for afters? Check this out! Very rare and old unofficial golden kite badge (I think many of you are familiar with this rarity but I just coudn`t resist... ) No ribbon? Come on guys – its freaking old!.

JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Still hungry? Ok. Here comes of golden kite order (special manchoukou vintage).
JapanX Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Of course it’s a long way to the top (USSR and third Reich fakes), but first steps are already made. The only reason for such low fake standars – there are not enough demand for high class fakes in high classes. But even chinese fakes are on the raise. This is the last vintage.
