JapanX Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Many (if not all) were made in Japan by japanese manufacturers. Why? Because we have variation made in silver with 100% japanese mark "pure silver" on reverse that can be found in 100% japanese case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
