Aurora Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, not only Japanese and "Chinese" orders & medals! Yamamoto and Tojo wear an insigna of a Knight Gran Cross of the Crown ( Kingdom of Italy) and Orders of the German Eagle. In your post # 70 he wears a Romanian Order of the Crown... without swords!!! He is not a civilian ...awarded for diplomatic purposes?! Aurora Edited August 7, 2012 by Aurora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yes, you are right, can we consider them for diplomatic purposes !? He is not a civilian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Possible answers His Crown has no swords because he got it before 1938 (the year when military division of the order was introduced) His Deutschen Adler has no swords because he got it before April 1939 (when version with swords was introduced) Cheers, Nick Edited August 7, 2012 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

922F Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Nick, Thank you for these Wonderful images reflecting a devoted and sincere "labor of love". Believe the first award on bar in post #57 & #58 is a Chile Order of Merit officer--note the condor bird suspension, rosette and apparent female head in the center medallion. The rare piece shown in posts #59 and #60 this thread lacks a suspension 'bird' and the central medallion detail appears different than #57/#58.

Quite exotic medal bar for Japanese Admiral Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Hokkaido award suspension ... Regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
