JapanX Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Now let`s examine another cased specimen that has ribbon without any gear!
JapanX Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Let`s sum up In case of Imperial Constitution Promulgation Medal we have three types of attachement gear Type 1 ("hecho a mano sewed" style of gear attachement) Type 2 ("sewed" style of gear attachement - made by workshop that manufactured the ribbon - obviously very professionaly and quite uniform attachement style) Type 3 ("late standart" style of gear attachement) And of course there are specimens without any gear.
Gensui Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Perfect Nick! Thanks for the clear overview!
Gensui Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 BTW, does anybody have any reliable data about a) the minted pieces b) the awarded pieces. c) the number of entitled persons, who were allowed to wear/receive the Imperial Constitution Promulgation Medal If my memories correct, Nick K. mentioned in an old threat at WAF 10 golden medals were awarded? Above mentioned questions are refer to the silver medal. BR, Chris
Gensui Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Splendid, Nick! This brings up the next question (I'd like to refer back to my questions posted in #110): Is there any chance to date or refer to any epoch each of the above summarised three types? Or are they all within the Meiji-area? I guess, to answer this question, it is necessary to know further background. E.g. Was it worth it to produce" several types" for manageable number of recipients? Until when was the Imperial Constitution Promulgation Medal awarded...? Etc. BR, Chris

BR, Chris The safe one will be: "they are all within Meiji" We are talking of course about Wedding, Constitution, Yellow Ribbon 1st type and 1874 War Medal. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr, Nick
Gensui Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 The safe one will be: "they are all within Meiji" We are talking of course about Wedding, Constitution, Yellow Ribbon 1st type and 1874 War Medal. That would mean, no production / minting of any above mentioned medals in Taisho area? Even not for memento reasons in the (let's say) 1920s? BR, Chris

BR, Chris Unfortunatly I don`t have any precise info regarding production of these oldies during Taisho era or later ...
