    Great East Asia War Commemorative

    Here's a nice example of a complete piece; medal, lapel button, case, case wrapper, cardboard box, mini explanatory document. These aren't exactly rare, but this one has a neat addition of being marked on the inside of the lid - Independent Infantry, 122nd Battalion. I've seen several of these as well as the campaign medals with writing, attributing these to various military branches, certainly fun to collect!

    This type was issued by right-wing patriotic organization in late 70s - early 80s.

    The main reason for creation of this vintage - 35 anniversary of Pacific War.

    I think that no less than 100 000 and no more than 1 000 000 pieces were issued.

    Not very precise estimates ... :lol:

    Only your type could be identified more or less precisely.

    Other most common "green ribbon" class of after-war replicas we couldn't dated precisely.

    That is if there are no insets inside the box or inscriptions on the medal itself.

    I thought about making another classification ... :lol:
