JapanX Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) I do not believe that the breast star was wrongly plated. We were talking about gild on breast star superimposed badge - not about gild on rays dear Richard ;) Edited October 17, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Bene Merenti auction collecting from the 2nd and 3rd class.

JapanX Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 By the way, another interesting feature of this 1st class set set from BM is that breast star "hallmarked with a swan". So we know that this breast star made a trip to France I wonder why badge is not hallmarked with the same mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I remember this guy ... we were like brothers once So. Let's sum up. The ring is cut and has slightly smaller diameter. Badge doesn't have "swan" mark that breast star has. A little bit alarming ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think that goes without saying. Now something reeeeeeaaaaaaly interesting. Please open your Peterson (3rd edition) on page 148. See this black-and-white picture of 1st class? Now take a good loooooong look at the badge It has double ring construction! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopis Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yep, you're right. Nonetheless I don't think that these were really gcs. Especially since a badge with a 3rd class construction will twist on a sash. The swan mark on the set from bm is really interesting, indeed. Looks like another put together group. The sash was a replacement, anyway. @Taganrok: No, not this one. "Recently", as I put it was a year or two back, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taganrog Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Why to quote my phrases? I didn't quote your words about me. Here discuss an award Николай! Пишу по русски,т.к. по английски у меня хорошо не получится. Потом, если хочешь, можешь сказать модеру удалить эти посты твой с цитатами и мой, т.к. здешним людям это не нужно - наши разборки. На Заммлере пост, т.к. за тобой не угонишься - строчишь как пулемёт темы. Я это написал после случая с колодкой, которая кстати продалась гораздо ниже моего предложения, ты меня не поддержал как коллекционер коллекционера, а наоборот , но я думаю, что в душе со мной возможно был согласен. Если бы по-честному,то взял бы и прокомментировал потом результат торгов. Мои слова в темах - ответ на твои. р.с. В вашей с Романом переписке участия не принимал. Узнал о ней потом. О твоем отлучении с форума узнал от Стаса. Мне теперь "по барабану" кто с кем и почему. Мне теперь как и тебе главное "чистый интерес"! Как сказал один наш с тобой общий знакомый: "Time heals all wounds". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Why to quote my phrases? I didn't quote your words about me. Please feel free to quote any of "my words" ... здешним людям это не нужно - наши разборки. I don't have any "разборки" with anybody, especially with you Если бы по-честному,то взял бы и прокомментировал потом результат торгов. Please fell free to do it right now На Заммлере пост, т.к. за тобой не угонишься - строчишь как пулемёт темы. Me and my "mashine- gun" posting again ... Guess there is a special place in hell for people like me P.S. But you get one thing right - this thread is about 1st class pillars and not about about your (or mine) current "feelings", Sammler or its owner. P.P.S. Since we are once again "best buddies forever" I will greatly appreciate if you stop mention my name on forums where I can answer to your gentle posts.

drclaw Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Back in 2011, I was contemplating a cased 1st Class set being offered by an Italian auction house. The lacquer case and inscriptions were well kept as was the original sash. It would have been a superb set but for one minor detail - the red enamel of the star looked like a LUNAR LANDSCAPE! It was pitted and crumbling with white spots covering its entire surface. While enamel rot is frequently encountered with the Nanjing Puppet Government awards, it's not something you'd expect for Kyoto Mint insignia. But evidently this can happen. Who knows what the unique conditions causing it were - bad batch of enamels, incorrect curing process, set stored in a damp cellar the last 60 years ...
