JapanX Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Type I was made in a silver-plated alloy. Types II and III were made in silver. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Nick, Excellent overview, as usual! So, all the different types and variations let me think, that this medal is not official announced? Different makers? BR, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 So, all the different types and variations let me think, that this medal is not official announced? It wasn't Different makers? Yes, but what really puzzles me is these different ribbon colors ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Then, the next question would be if there were any possibilities to wear this medal together with “official” ones? Or let it put me like this way around: are there any regulations which allows (or to ban) the combination of official and unofficial medals?

JapanX Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Then, the next question would be if there were any possibilities to wear this medal together with official ones? I think this is practically impossible. Especially on official uniform. Or let it put me like this way around: are there any regulations which allows (or to ban) the combination of official and unofficial medals? Well, they certainly should be somewhere One thing is for certain - we don't see such combinations on photos Cheers, Nick Edited June 2, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Very nice thread! I have not collected any of these, but I'm sure interested now that you've shown so much variety here. Thanks! Do you think though that the green one is really green, or is it a faded turquoise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Do you think though that the green one is really green, or is it a faded turquoise? More than sure since I have both colors in my "miscellaneous drawer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
