Golden Kite 5th and 4th

[Frank Japan]

Gentlemen,

 

short question: How to date a Golden Kite 4th and 5th class?

 

I am interested especially in before Showa pieces.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Frank

Everything that doesn`t have this type of birdie was made before 1931.

 

 

 

The most common type of early 5th/4th class order that was awarded during 1895-1906 time period.
