SWE Erik Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Case front I forgot to include it. I would like some opinions on this one if possible, the reverse seems to be as new as yesterday! Thats all for now here, thanks for looking Hi!I think this order is perfectly fine. But it looks like a post war wariation. (no rivets on the reverse of the order). I don't think I have ever seen any fake 5th cl Sacred treasures./Erikhere is my oneEdit: wrote 6th instead of 5th...

SWE Erik Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) and the box. I think this order are made sometime around 1920. (I'm guessing here).Edit: problem attaching picture Edited April 28, 2006 by SWE Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Thanks Eric I see your writing is different. So would this be from between 1945 and 1947?Would that apply for the 6th class also, or were rivets not used on that grade?

SWE Erik Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks Eric I see your writing is different. So would this be from between 1945 and 1947?Would that apply for the 6th class also, or were rivets not used on that grade?Rivets were used on 6th class orders and above. I believe they stoped using rivets sometime after the war (that is what I have heard). Sacred treasures are still awarded in Japan so Your order are probably made betwen 1945-2006. I can't be more acurate than that, sorry. So much still to learn about them. I am actually only collecting the early ones.The writing shanged sometime in the thirties to the style on Your 5th cl.Hope it helps/Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWE Erik Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 By the way... Are the boxes made of wood or plastic?I remembered this old thread You might not have seen. My favourit. A 4th class which looks like it could be from around 1910. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3202 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Hi EricThanks, I was thinking about the Golden Kite as to those dates posted previously. The cases are both wood from what i can see from where the catch is attached to the lid. Well now I know some more of what to look for. These will have to be replaced Edited April 28, 2006 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) Here's my latest arrival, A WW2 Showa era 4th class, the inside is a little ratty and the case has some scratches and dings. However the medals sweet.
