Or pience within a collection?

Currently it is "a piece within collection"

Very recently it was "a lot on JapanYahoo" and then "a lot on eBay"

Of course I am, but not this one

[dark379]

Nice it hard to see an original ver. of it.

by the way Mr. Nick how do you know if it is original or post war ver?

[JapanX]

By the form of the suspension, style of the kanji on reverse, surface, paint colour, little tiny details here and there, etc ...

I thought it`s obvious especially after these two threads (one devoted to the replicas and another to the original medal)

I'd give my right arm to see this - dancing Nick

[Gensui]

Honestly, gents!

I heard by rumor about one origin medal with an AUTHENTIC ribbon! Never saw it, but the source is absolute reliable!

Nick, you know, who I'm taking about, right?

I'm just curious, if there are any further authentic ribbons? I guess, these ribbons looks the same, but have a different "haptic" feeling?

Maybe our beloved burn test?

You guys are too much..........

You guys are too much..........

Blame Chris!

I've always been known as quite serious chap

P.S. Please note that toward the end Chris even stoped typing anything ...

He simply quoted my post and that was it!

Fit of sunday laziness? :whistle:

[Gensui]

No! That's not true!

Check the symbol below your post "American Numismatic Society ..." and you'll see "something different"

I wasn't able to use "MultiQuote" correct - I'm here at a different place and my PC is too old and have some problems here...

Sorry for that!

PS: Sundays are always my lazy day!
