Guest Rick Research Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Well, at least the date will be "semi-translatable" from the document-- it will be found in format #s year #s month #s day on the immediate right of the large "chop" in the center of the document.The problem of course is when the EMPEROR'S name/reign dates are what is indicated. All I can read are numbersand date characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Close upThese are some beautiful medals. I do have a couple of questions in reference to them1. I notice that the various classes of these medals have the same ribbon. My question is that personel awarded more than one class, how did they wear the ribbons? Did they place a certain device on the ribbon bar to denote class? Did they wear the same ribbon more than once for being awarded more than one class?2. Are these medals still being awarded today?Thank youWarm regardsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Buy Peterson's Orders and Medals of Japan and Associated States and all will be revealed.See: http://omsa.org/osCommerce/product_info.ph...&products_id=38(I am not a great fan of commercial "plugs", but I am also not a great fan to "lifting" information from an already-published work.)

Guest Rick Research Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Here is a close-up of Paul C's 5th Class on the medal bar of later Generalleutnant Karl Max Erdmann Gronau (1855-1945) that I Epsonized for him yesterday:This was apparently awarded to him by a visiting delegation from Japan while he was a Hauptmann on the staff of the Field Artillery Shooting School, between 1897 and 1902.For the whole medal bar:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25949 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul L Murphy Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Order of the Rising Star insignia in the collections of the National History Museum of Romania: grand cordon star and insignia of the third classIt is incorrect to describe it as a Grand Cordon Star. It is the star for the 1st and 2nd classes. The only Japanese orders that have a Grand Cordon are the Order of the Chrysanthemum and the Order of the Rising Sun with Pawlonia Flowers (which is a different order from the Rising Sun). Both of these are single class orders with Grand Cordon as the only class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspected that there is something wrong when I noticed that the European designation of the classes had been used on the labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
