JapanX Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Attractive and pretty rare ... It's time to have a little chat about this one Peterson on p.109 gives us the name of this badge (not very exact) “Regular Attendants Badge NCO” + photo of the badge (fig.194). That’s it. Not much When, to whom and for what Well now we know that this badge was established on March 2, 1904. Original name of this badge is 下士勤功章 下 - under 士 - officer 勤 - hard working/attendance 功 - service/merit/meritorious service 章 - badge Or, as we call it in Moscow (by using Google translator ), Kashi Tsutomu Isao Fumi. This badge was awarded to NCOs for exemplary performance. Candidates for this badge were selected by each unit (candidate should had at least 6 years of exemplary service). But only very few got this badge. Crème de la crème of NCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Cherry blossom in the centre of the badge should be silvered but sometime it had goldish patina in the begining of the process at the end When all silver is lost cherry blossom has this look Edited September 7, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
