    I joined up here because this thread is such a good reference.

    Hi Max,

    Welcome to GMIC!

    because this center enamel piece have one screw fixation.

    When cavalier wear his piece long enough this screw (due to constant vibrations) slowly, but surely start to unfasten...

    Usual story with Japanese orders that have screw construction (golden kites, breast stars of 1st and 2nd classes, etc...)

    Regards,

    Nick
