    China Incident medals

    Dear all,

     

    Part of my small Japanese medals collection: two medals relating to the '1937-1945 China Incident'. One very common, the other apparently slightly less common though not rare.

     

    The China Incident medal came in a case including wrapping paper, the commemorative medal is of course uncased.

     

    Hopefully they are both OK ;-).

     

    Greetings,

    Marcel

    Wrapping paper would be a correct "case" for the commemorative one. 

     

    Medal looks original. Only the ribbon of commemorative is a modern replacement and suspension ring could be resoldered/glued.

    Thanks for your opinion. I think the suspension ring was resoldered. The look of whatever holds it together is like silvery metal.

    What is the weight of less common one?

     

    Including the ribbon the commemorative medal weighs 17.5 gr. The 'war' medal 28.4 gr.

     

    I cannot remove the ribbons, but if I try to support the ribbon then the medals weigh around 16.3 gr and 25.7 gr. Very inaccurate obviously 😉

     

    Greetings,

    Marcel
