Dating of kite 5th

[Aniki]

Hi, can you help me date this group please. Is it genuine or bogus? Many thanks in advance

Kite is original of course.

This variation belong to the 1895-1910s time period. 

At least three award groups for Russo-Japanese War are known with this type of Kite (all orders formally issued on April 1, 1906)

See for example https://asiamedals.info/threads/repaired-kites.23236/#post-349269

 

But group is bogus of course. 

5th class Golden Kite was awarded together with 6th/5th class of Rising Sun order.

Thank you. And the same rule was for treasure?

[JapanX]

Golden Kite awarding doesn't "trigger" simultaneous awarding of Sacred Treasure.  Sacred Treasure was usually "accompanied" the newly received military rank. Naturally it is hardly possible for the holder of 5th class Golden Kite to have only 8th class Sacred Treasure.

Very interesting. Is there a topic with more info on rules of giving treasures and suns? Like with that military rank promotion with the former? I'd appreciate a lot such knowledge.

Awesome.
