Basic Rifleman Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Greetings, I'm new to the forum, but am very grateful for this resource. I recently purchased a large collection of Japanese medals and have been able to identify dozens of them here thanks to the efforts of others over the years. I also found a few on the "Medals of Asia" site as well. Most of the medals in this collection seem to be from the early 1900's, while a few are earlier, and a couple later. I hope it's ok I'm posting the medals I was unable to identify here for those more knowledgeable than myself to take a look at and possibly assist in the identification. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have taken close up photos of each of the medals, but didn't want to post too many pictures here, so if anyone needs better/closer pics, just let me know and I'll post them.

Basic Rifleman Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Wow. I can't thank you enough, JapanX ! I feel bit foolish for not finding those first medals on the MedalsofAsia site, but am very grateful for you pointing them out to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic Rifleman Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 I must admit I'm a little embarrassed I didn't find more on the Medals of Asia site after spending so much time there. I appreciate the medal ID's and have had a great time reading more about them online. I love the quality and variety of these Japanese medals.

Basic Rifleman Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Does anyone know about the remaining medals? Would better pictures help, in at least gathering the dates and or translation? I'm particularly interested in the two that appears to have military officers on the front, and the couple that appear to be very old on the bottom half of photos #5 and #6 above. Thanks in advance!
