fukuoka Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 The case is not original to the medal, so why would I keep them together? If you read the original listing from Japan (as I know you have seen it), you will see the seller explicitly stated he added the case and that it was NOT original.

If you read the original listing from Japan (as I know you have seen it), you will see the seller explicitly stated he added the case and that it was NOT original. We know that, it was simple curiosity about what it really was!
JapanX Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Same medal in HQ (since there are rumors about fakes... Where these guys find these fakes I don`t know... Paranoidism )
JapanX Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Looks like super rarities are everywhere these days
JapanX Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 The ribbon is a replacement one... This hook looks familiar ....
Gensui Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Ah, the "Spanish" Medal... So, my guess was right about the replaced ribbon... BR, Chris
JapanX Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 So, my guess was right about the replaced ribbon... "They" won`t catch you!
Gensui Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Not for $1,400 Edited December 15, 2012 by Gensui
JapanX Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Another "super rarity"! Naturally a cased one!!! I bet this is a lower part of census medal case
fukuoka Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I have just found official documents from the Decorations Bureau that show exactly who was to receive these--and the number of medals they expected to give. And the group does indeed include collaborators from Korea, Taiwan, Sakhalin, and the South Pacific territories. No apologies necessary for those who said I was misleading customers on my ebay auction. It just made sense--strengthened by the home front medal description from Nick Komiya. Those who contributed to the war effort would have been eligible for one of these medals. And those who contributed from abroad would both get the medal and be looked down upon by his/her countrymen. Full details, including numbers, will be included in my February newsletter issue. Sorry to plug my wares...
JapanX Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Saw this one These are SO rare The box is a nice touch ...

I hope you send out reminder emails to subscribers if their subscriptions are about to expire! I don't want to miss any of the news letters!
JapanX Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 We saw this pseudo-collab "rarity" at YJ... Now it is at eBay... Typical circulation pattern for japanese medals in these days
