Hoping to identify this medal

Hello :)

After looking around for a while, this medal SEEMS to be Japanese so I thought I would come here and ask...

Thanks!

gabatgh,

I think it may be a 'Manchukuo Occupation. An Order of the Pillars of the State, 4th Class'

This is order of pillars of the state, but it can`t be 4th class badge, since 4th class should be gold gilded.

So this could be 8th, 7th or 6th class (depending on the number of bars at the ribbon) badge.

You folks are wicked fast! Awesome! Now to valuate it. Prices at worthpoint are all over the place. A shoddy one without a ribbon sold on ebay in 2012 for $700US but I have no idea why. I'm thinking I don't know something, it was a shill bid or a fluke. Most of the others without ribbons seem to be selling for $75-$125US.
