JapanX Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 and also i didnt expect that the 1st class medal will be together again. Yep, now these two kites (badge and breast star) have exactly the same gilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark379 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 ya you right Mr. Nick and they are more color silver in birds area, rather than the other one have golden color.... don't know if there is difference in 1st class set breast star, and 2nd class breast star. what do you think Mr. Nick?

JapanX Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Well, the 2nd class breast star simply have better preserved gold gilt (most likely because it was less subjected to sun or any others external factors). Japanese gold gilt (on pre WWII orders) have a tendecy to "burn out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
