hipnos Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hello Gents: Someone of you knows where I can get some replacement ribbons for japanese medals, as, sino- japanese war, russian japanese war, "incidents" medals and WW1 ??? I´ve some medals that in a time, apparently suffer water immersion and the ribbons are a complete shambles... Thanks Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

922F Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 АЛЕКСАНДР ХАРИТОНЧУК [Alexander Haritonchuk?] shimanisu@mail.ru has a variety of apparently original & more recent replacement Japanese & Manchukuo ribbons. He sells directly to individuals and on eBay, see item 300871725973 for what's on hand. I've dealt with him several times & am fully satisfied. Keep in mind postal transit time are usually unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 F, I saw russian made ribbons for japanese medals and manchu orders and (from the pictures that I saw) the color reproduction looked terrible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yep. I was talking about these ribbons Saw the ribbon for auspicious clouds once and it looked exactly like in this chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I'm fairly sure some of his offerings are recent [year to month old] made like the Boxer, Man. Red Cross & as you mention, some Auspicious Clouds. I'm no expert on these type ribbons but the Enthronment & Korean Annexation look and feel like old silk....must try the burn test. I bought 2 varieites of Auspicious Clouds from him, one like the image and one that matches old stock...... Various auctions and ribbon banks [like OMSA] sometimes have old original materials but that's sort of luck of the draw. Couldn't find replacements anywhere else & these fill the void cheaply....

JapanX Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Ok. So what you should expect from replacement ribbons? Let`s check out replacement ribbons for order of auspicious clouds (as example) from different manufacturers.
