DRB 1643 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Here is another Japanese medal/badge I just acquired. I was hoping someone (i.e. JapanX) could translate the writing on the reverse. It is scratched in so it is difficult getting a clear readable image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
