JapanX Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Of all the Republican Orders Striped Tiger has the most diverse number of different and very interesting marks. This thread will be completely devoted to them. Tiger Reverses Order of the Striped Tiger has several types of reverses Plain reverse without any marks Reverse with “seal” mark Reverse with two marks: “seal” mark and “arable numerals/roman characters” mark (“digital” mark in our discussion). It is quite interesting that “digital” mark come only and only together with seal mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 “Seal” marks have always placed under the fastening screw and “arable numerals/roman characters” mark always under this screw. The following is an example of such positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
