Relic99 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've been looking for a Golden Kite class 6 or 7 but have seen some replicas out there. How do you identify a replica from an original from photos? I have a modest medal collection with no Japanese medals so these are very new to me; I wanted to add a Golden Kite to my display and decided on the 6 or 7 class because of the cost. I would appreciate any info on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 hi relic 99 check out rich catalanos imperial medals and badges website or look at the info available in the japanese forum on this website i havent seen replicas in these gk classes but im sure they are out there there is some excellent info on this site to help new collectors ps 6th class medals are pretty pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic99 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks for the reply Mickey. That site is a great resource. I had looked over it earlier and it discusses replicas of the 1st class medal but doesn't say anything about the 6th or 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 As you might see these are not really top notch fakes ... Especially when you compare them agaist original 6th 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic99 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks JapanX. I found your earlier thread from 2011 and it focused on all of the details I'm concerned about. Good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
