Thank you Larry, 

 

I realy love those amazing details like the feathers or the ornaments on the sword. 

Good to know it is a Showa piece

There is something very lovely about Japanese medals.

The detail on this medal is beautiful.

[Uffz. Rohleder]

Thats true. I realy love those amazing sharp details. 

Is it an early Showa piece? 

Or is there no way to tell
