kaigunair Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I'm thinking this is a reproduction of a late war 1st class Navy Pilot's badge. Is nakata making repros of these? The propeller in the lower right corner seems to have the "enamel" leaking off the side. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Japanese-Military-Aviation-Honor-Prize-Badge-Fighter-Air-Force-Medal-flag-/200954929607?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec9d8e1c7#ht_621wt_935
JapanX Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Yes. This is fake. Nakata?! Hmmm... Usually he marks his "creations " ;)
JapanX Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Check out this rare beauty http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5inch-1921-Republic-of-China-Triumphant-Medal-Japan-WWII-Military-Manchukuo-/200954980155?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec9d9a73b Indeed the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
kaigunair Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks JapanX. Guess they're finally putting more effort into the fakes, unfortunately. Much appreciated.
JapanX Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) The strangest thing is that this piece indeed has pretty high quality (as compared to our usual japanese fakes), but these "enamel leaks" ... Ridiculous ... Edited August 22, 2013 by JapanX
