JapanX Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Well, to be honest I was too lazy and I thought that you would do it, once you'd see the topic. You always has a good excuse ... kinda I wonder what they did to the reverse... Scotch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray11 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hello,just to say that if someone like me with no knowledge of Japanese medals were looking to buy one of these i would or could get badly burned and i have a feeling that no one IE ebay would give a ---- yes. So just saying try to know what you are doing before you buy. I believe I have been lucky in that i only buy from people who seem to be honest and most are honest, only takes one bad apple to screw things up. Hope I am not to boring I just had to vent. Best to all,Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hc8604 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I haven't seen any Chinese fakes replicate the exact same font. They use modern font to stamp the medals. Both have the manufacturer marks circled in red. You did point out that the Brilliant Star and Cloud and Banner use the same base layer, didn't realize that, so it could be either one.
