Dieter3 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 A bit beat up, it's hard a somewhat neglected life, but it has character and a nice hallmark, I believe associating this with the WWI-era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well. This is one darn good Meiji 8th class! Really nice condition! Nice! And a nice "red stripes" early ribbon! And if you ask me I think that this piece is a little bit older than you think Why do you think that it is WWI piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 And if you ask me I think that this piece is a little bit older than you think Why do you think that it is WWI piece? Well, the mirror is not as large as earlier pieces, plus the katakana equivalent of this character is found on the 1914-15 war medal. Not saying for sure, just my theory!

Not saying for sure, just my theory! Hmmm. I really like the ribbon... Nice one. And I think that larger mirror as sign of Meiji epoch for 7 and 8 classes will be a nice feature, but bigger diameter of jewels on perimeter will be even better Anyway this is for sure one nice oDld piece!

Dieter3 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well, it is one of those pieces that "has character" as they say. I'd much rather have a "mint" one just like it, but I'm really happy with this piece even though it isn't perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
