JapanX Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Only one thing about this bar looks a liitle bit off This 4th class sacred treasure ... It definetely belongs to the Meiji epoch.

JapanX Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 My main concern with this bar is the Kite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 It looks like he came from Meiji epoch (at least by these quite terrible photos) And if so, then where are our usual 1895/1900/1904-05 or at least 1914/1920 compain medals. But even more interesting is all other medals in this bar look like they belong together So, one of the possibilities will be added kite. What do you think guys?

JapanX Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) So. The last medal in the bar came from 1912 But 4th class sacred treasure came from Showa epoch (30s+ at the very least) Edited July 15, 2014 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Outstanding! I've been buying up Japanese medal bar pictures for 2 decades and while there is enormous uniformity, sometimes there are surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
