JapanX Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Simply look at this high-ranking Japanese officer and his bar! You don`t see this mounting style every day ;)
JapanX Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Another example of this atypical mounting. Prince Komatsu Akihito
Claudius Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I especially like the Kite at the front! Does anyone have a medalbar with a 1914 War Medal in it? Edited July 11, 2012 by Claudius
JapanX Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Check out this thread (post # 86) http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/52804-vein-approach-to-dating-rising-sun-orders-a-dangerous-path/page__st__80 I`ll look around for additional specimens ;)
JapanX Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Completely forgot about another excellent group Same thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/52804-vein-approach-to-dating-rising-sun-orders-a-dangerous-path/page__st__120 Post #140 +
Claudius Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Completely forgot about another excellent group Same thread http://gmic.co.uk/in...h/page__st__120 Post #140 + These are all great little groups to Tsingtau veterans. It is lucky for the current owners that I didn't have them under my gaze for sale at a show. They would have looked well opposite to my German Tsingtau groups. Edited July 11, 2012 by Claudius
JapanX Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Between 1890 and 1900 many japanese officers were send to Germany to study in military schools ;)
JapanX Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Another example demostrated by Prince Kuninomiya Kuniyoshi
mickey Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 close up but not very clear still coming to grips with macro
mickey Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 not the best, the flash from the original photo has over exposed the medals i can see some type of cross and the ww1 victory medal in the group, photo from a wonderful group of photos from the 22nd calvary regiment based in north china in the 1930s
JapanX Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Nice bar Mickey! The only chance for Japanese officer to obtain second raw of awards - foreign contributions Classical mounting though ... No "German style" mounting Cheers, Nick
JapanX Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Additional variant of the photo from first post + quality close up. For those who can`t get enough of this gorgeous photo ... :)
