Brian Wolfe Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi Nick, Nice piece indeed. Any more details regarding the issue? The why, when and where or of it. It looks to have been hand engraved, so would this have been a field made piece? I ask as from what I understand some German Iron Crosses were made in the field, I think there are photos of this somewhere in the German section.

Another variant - unofficial award from some regiment. This is the first time I see this piece. The seller called it "Taiwan Counterattack Medal". No other info was given.

No one Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Dear Gentlemen, For a counterattack you need a sharp sword! By the way the inscription is in Japanese not in Chinese! It has another meaning, it is a metaphor for the wisdom of defeating disturbing emotions and demons, and the saving power of the Buddha. 利剣 - Google 検索 Yours sincerely, No one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No one Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Dear Gentlemen, The medal may be Chinese but the inscription suggests that we are dealing with Japanese Buddhism.
