    The only info that we have today about this rare and beautiful decoration came from page 171 of Peterson book "Orders and Medals of Japan and Associated States”, 3rd edition.

    Peterson was absolutely right about "lower classes".

    Indeed this decoration has three classes

    • 1st class / approximately 48 mm in diameter, silver-gilt, rays enameled red;
    • 2nd class / approximately 42 mm in diameter, silver-gilt, rays enameled blue;
    • 3rd class / approximately 38 mm in diameter, silver, rays enameled blue.

    Let`s take a look at these classes.

    Variation 2 (blackened medallion)

    Only one piece with blacken central medallion is known to me (and it is cased!!!).

    Luckily I own this piece ;)

    Undoubtedly these badges are super rare and boxed specimens are practically impossible to find.

    But of course the REAL THING will be document.

    Let`s say for 1st class badge ;)

    Exclusively for Japan section of GMIC!

    World Première :lol:
