JapanX Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gensui Posted June 24, 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
