kaguyahime Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Hello, jentlemen! Here is a not incurious buckle. On the averse we can see some theme of Tsushima battle and wellknown words of Admiral Togo, the date "October 1934" and Mint's mark (slightly seen). On the reversе - Togo' contour (think so) plus some "remains" of kanji above. What is the idea? Why only contour on the reverse and no more details of Admiral's portrait at all? May be, because 1934 is the year when Togo passed away? Edited February 2, 2022 by kaguyahime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Somebody converted beautiful mint-made medal into belt buckle.

JapanX Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Conversion of orders, medals and badges into obidome, belt buckles and brooches is practically Japan's national sport See https://asiamedals.info/threads/brooches-japanese-orders-and-badges-converted-into-jewelry-belt-buckles-obidome-etc.12302/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaguyahime Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 The result of comparison confirmed -JapanX was absolutely right! But have one more look, how accurate was the master of convertation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
