JapanX Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Could be intentionally, since it doesn't look like a usual underfilling or misplacement of enamel (leaf veins are missing too) ;) Edited September 28, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Two additional examples of Nakajima factory in Oda badge. Interesting that both came from six hundred (and one that we already have in this thread (post #117) has number 611 on its reverse). # 614 I bet that these badges were manufactured by Mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshorter Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, Here is mine that I just picked up. A Type II, Kosho version. Ok, this is for Nick (LOL!), but if I have read correctly, pronunciation for Military Wound Badge is: Shoigunjinsho Also, if you could be so kind, could you provide the Kanji for it as well... Thanks! Jason Edited November 13, 2013 by jshorter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
