JapanX Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hope these two pieces will give a clear idea about "Meiji shade" and "Showa shade". But the real highlight of our today broadcasting will be this very interesting piece from Meiji epoch. The box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 and now I want to show you how instable this reverse inscription and veins geography even in case of two practically identical pieces from Meiji. Here comes close relative of Meiji piece that we saw in posts #146-150. Box (nice new script ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudius Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Looks like Paul’s group of four to Private Kawamura Manjiro (looks like he get his 8th class for Tsingtao operation at the start of the WWI (?), but I don’t know the exact date ) from WWI has same type of order (I wonder what kind of reverse inscription this order has). Off the topic of the thread but, this is a GREAT bar for a gent who was at the Tsingtau campaign (August - November 7th, 1914). :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Another interesting example Check out the reverse - early inscription style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Note the form of the ball - it is typical for later pieces. Well, with such reverse inscription one should expect pretty darn long veins on obverse ... Not really ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
