JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Been trying to find anything solid on these for some time ... Ok. First player will be this little silver piece on yellow/white ribbon that was issued by Warrior's Association' Kyoto branch in Kumano District
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Typical for this medal family ribbon and attachment
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Unfortunately yellow-white slipped through my fingers, but I have this one in my collection
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 No wonder! Reverse inscription is also completely different
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Yellow-white ribbon reverse / Red-white ribbon reverse Help with translation is needed!
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 And another medal on red-white ribbon and again with different reverse inscription!
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Again looks like different maker ' alt='' class='ipsImage' > ' alt='' class='ipsImage' >
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Any ideas about origins of this organization chaps?
Jktu Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 京都府熊野郡 – Kumano District of Kyoto Prefecture, 尚武恊會 – martial (warlike) spirit association. /// 三重朝明軍人義會 – association of military personnel loyal to their duty Asake District of Mie Prefecture, 賛助客員 – support honorary member.
JapanX Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 So these are two different associations (yellow ribbon = martial spirit association and red ribbon = association of loyal military personnel)! Thanks Oleg!
