T his is a very good example of the Order of the Golden Kite 4th/5th Class Medal. Note that while the case and loose rosette are 100% original 4th Class items, the medal itself is probably a 5th Class still a highly desirable piece! The only difference between these classes was a gilt wash, and this medal has none. The gilt may have completely faded–I have seen that happen–but for the sake of clarity I must assume it is a 5th Class. Awarded for distinguished military service and/or deeds. There is some slight wear to the enamel, but overall it looks great. In addition, one of the reverse rivets is missing. Original lacquered wood case of issue. PLEASE CHECK PHOTOS FOR CONDITION! Wear and tear evident. Check out Dai Nippon Military Antiques medal website! There is an extra charge, though. I pack well to reduce the chance of damage, but sometimes the boxes are handled roughly.
