Gents,

Here are some new pics for the gallery.

Maybe the future owner can post better pictures...?

Mint!

[Gensui]

...especially the ribbon

[JapanX]

Guess you are missing this famous moire effect

[Gensui]

Yes, exactly. And beside this, surface of the catch & hook doesn't "fit" to the overall picture of the medal.

Seriously?!

Or this

[Gensui]

Yeap. I mean the catch and hook looks so shiny compare to the medal itself.

But then it makes sense (replaced ribbon).

BTW, pic no 7 looks like the medal from Admiral Ôishi, which was sold recently at Yahoo Japan.

It looks exactly like it should look like!

An exemplary set

Yeah, wish I could afford it!!

Final price - 257,000 yen - a little out of my price range! I figure there are simply some pieces I am not meant to have.

[Gensui]

Interesting to see the big price variation! I remember one cased piece, which was sold for 157K in February this year.

for 157K

We need more prices like that :rolleyes:

[utopis]

We need more prices like that

I'll let you in on a secret - but psst, no one needs to know: ebay

[JapanX]

Ha!

I expect less than $1000 from miracleBay (earlier known as evilBay)

[utopis]

We shall await the miracle!

... await the miracle!
