Rising Suns questions

[Ralph A]

What classes are these? Can you determine the approximate era from these pictures?

How is the larger one different from the one Weitze has for sale? https://www.weitze.com/militaria/73/Japan_Orden_der_Aufgehenden_Sonne_Ritterkreuz__299673.html

Huge difference in cost from what I was offered for mine....

??

Sorry, not my field. I'm sure the answers are in this forum, but I don't have the time right now to dredge them up. Thanks all.

6th class 1940+ . Most likely afterwar vintage.

8th class belong to the same time period.

The main difference is in the pure unblended greed.

These prices are outrageus (putting it mildly)

No greed here.

What would be a fair price?

I Picked up a ww2 vintage 6th class cased in the UK for 110gbp, (A bit of haggling, late afternoon, waved cash  I admit, he wanted 125GBP)

 

He also had a cased 7th class for about 60GBP if I remember

this guy seems to have a good mix at a good price....

 

i cannot comment on their originality.

i bought a variety from a Japanese seller at similar prices  just a year or two ago, (I can’t resist combining postage) I’m pretty sure he is still on Ebay but I cannot now find him.

Perhaps you can.

Postage was direct from Japan.
