Aniki Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi, can you help me identify the meaning of the kanjis on a medal bar? I see 実用薪X 二八五五五〇, however don't have a clue about it. Is it a name and a soldiers number? Many thanks in advance. R Just now, Aniki said: Hi, can you help me identify the meaning of the kanjis on a medal bar?

Aniki Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 The condition is indeed interesting. Ribbons in the middle are literally melted with the metal parts of the hanger. Maybe someone knows what it could have been exposed to? It's not a regular ageing process from the weathering and oxidising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the hangar - it was made in anodized aluminum and looks fine (only patinated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
