Dieter3 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Nobody will ever cover all variation - to do so one will need to buy all of them And just when you think you've seen them all - a NEW one pops up!!! :lol:
JapanX Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 And another very interesting comparison ... Piece A Box Piece

JapanX Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 And one more comparison. This time super cool one! Since both pieces are marked with
JapanX Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Obverses comparison (pay special attention to suspension balls )
JapanX Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 In conclusion these two nice boxes for 7th and 8th class rising suns. Nice scripts ;)
Dieter3 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Piece A marked with kanji I wonder if this one also falls into the roughly WWI-period as you see this same mark on 1914-15 War Medals?
JapanX Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 I wonder if this one also falls into the roughly WWI-period as you see this same mark on 1914-15 War Medals? And/or little later... And/or little earlier ... Or both statements... The more I am looking at all these early marks, the more I get the feeling that they all were active (except M mark) only for a very short period of time ... I'd say [min 1895-1930 max] ...
JapanX Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 Another very intersting bar for veteran of WW I. Obverse
JapanX Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Check out this form ;) Edited June 15, 2012 by JapanX
JapanX Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 and of course this "too modern" reverse inscription style...
JapanX Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Since on other phalera forums our colleagues are trying to use shade of the green enamel for dating rising suns I think it will be usefull to examine in every detail two additional examples of 7th class. One from Meiji epoch (00s) and the other from late Showa (late 30s). First will be this exellent Meiji piece Obverse
