JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Why the bar inscription is in reverse order?!
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 We know for a fact how the right order should looks like. We have official line drawings!
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 And it looks like Peterson knew about eccentricity of his piece
Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I found two more authentic medals (without ribbon). You can have number one for the peanuts of 1,200,000 Yen.
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 What we have here is another first-rate mystery
Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Number one is too expensive for you guys? Don't worry, here is Number two for 850,000 Yen:
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 While the remaining pieces of 9,997 medals (according to Morton & Eden info) are "somewhere" - what do we know about the (quantity) of the ribbon? Were the medals stored at the Osaka mint together with the ribbon? Adjusted?... Dude its not "according to Morton&Eden" This number came from Peterson Where did he get this number? Guess it came from the same source as info about 1 000 000 + Kites
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I found two more authentic medals (without ribbon). Where? YahooJapan? P.S. Very crappy photos ... very high prices Edited June 24, 2013 by JapanX
Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Where? P.S. Very crappy photos ... very high prices Japanese dealer "jp military"
Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Dude its not "according to Morton&Eden" This number came from Peterson img418 p.51 - â.jpg Ok, I should had mentioned: according to Morton & Eden auction describtion, which is based on Peterson's published information.
Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 What we have here is another first-rate mystery Or simply spoken just a copy, which Peterson was looking at? Honestly, I don't belive in any "two prototypes" for the bar. If so, there should be some more bars with the changed writting direction somewhere out there
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Japanese dealer "jp military" Shame on him! Ok, I should had mentioned: according to Morton & Eden auction describtion, which is based on Peterson's published information.

Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Well – “viel Feind, viel Ehr’!” and I can live with it! Seriously, I don’t understand why there were so less critical questions from the world wide community about Peterson?! Seems like everybody is just taking all information without double-checking it or simply look for (alternative) sources… To make it right, I am not blaming anybody and I don't want to throw the first stone. But honestly, are there no critical voices out there? Or do I simply overlooked some public discourse?
JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Seems like everybody is just taking all information without double-checking it or simply look for (alternative) sources… Naaaa Not everybody
Dieter3 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Number one is too expensive for you guys? Don't worry, here is Number two for 850,000 Yen: #1 AND #2 - too expensive for me! Considering a ribbon-less one was on YJA! not selling.....
Gensui Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 ... Considering a ribbon-less one was on YJA! not selling..... Do you mean the one from post no. 30 (this thread)? - I met the seller and know, that he sold this medal.
Dieter3 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 That's the one! It finally sold for the asking price. 350,000 much better than 850,000 or 1,200,000!!
JapanX Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Another original piece surfaced at YJ ... No suspension, no bar and no ribbon, but nevertheless original
