    So, reverse inscription mentions nothing conserning reason of isshue? (In contrast with "On the occasion of... " - post 156).

    According to the seller inscription reads

    "February 10, 1940.

    Manchukou.

    Mudanjiang.

    Adachi unit.

    Hisashige party.

    The 11th aeronautic communication regiment.

    Army aeronautic communication soldier.

    Mr Motioka Kikuo"

    Could be intentionally, since it doesn't look like a usual underfilling or misplacement of enamel (leaf veins are missing too) ;)

    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 ;)

    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... :cheeky:

    Thanks!

    Jason
