This empire lasted from 1932 to 1945, so medals from here are quite desirable and scarce. This is the 7th Class Order of the Auspicious Clouds Medal. This was originally gilted in gold, and this faded so easily. So to find an example like this one with a lot of the gilt remaining is amazing. Although there are spots of fading and wear, you will be hard pressed to find one better than this. Wear and tear evident. PLEASE CHECK PHOTOS FOR CONDITION! Check out Dai Nippon Military Antiques medal website! I pack well to reduce the chance of damage, but sometimes the boxes are handled roughly. The item “Rare! WW2 MANCHUKUO 7th Class GOLD GILT AUSPICIOUS CLOUDS JAPAN MEDAL JAPANESE” is in sale since Saturday, December 10, 2016. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\WW II (1939-45)\Original Period Items\Japan\Medals, Pins & Ribbons”. The seller is “imperialjapan” and is located in Fukuoka, Fukuoka.

T his is an EXCELLENT example of the Order of the Golden Kite 6th Class Medal, quite scarce. These 6th Class medals are very hard to find, and usually the gilt is faded badly. This one, however, has almost all of the gilt intact. The only portion of this medal that should not be gold are the sword tips, and as you can see these are nicely polished silver. Really a fantastic piece–one that probably could not be upgraded. Original lacquered wood case of issue and original lapel rosette, but both have slight damage. PLEASE CHECK PHOTOS FOR CONDITION! Wear and tear evident. Check out Dai Nippon Military Antiques medal website! There are flaws here and there. Please look at the photos carefully. I pack well to reduce the chance of damage, but sometimes the boxes are handled roughly. The item “BEAUTIFUL GOLD GILT! WW2 6th Class ORDER of GOLDEN KITE MEDAL JAPANESE JAPAN” is in sale since Sunday, July 17, 2016.

STRUCK BY THE IMPERIAL MINT OSAKA FROM A DESIGN BY THE BRILLIANT K. TO COMMEMORATE THE THEN-CROWN PRINCE (HIROHITO) TRIP ABROAD IN 1921. ABOARD THE WARSHIP’HATORI. THE’LIVING GOD’ AS HE WAS KNOWN IS ATTIRED HERE AS AN IMPERIAL NAVY ADMIRAL. THE QUALITY OF THIS PIECE – & THE EERILY LIFELIKE MODELING OF THE C. S FACE IN PARTICULAR. AND IN HAND, BREATH-TAKING. TOLD ME THESE GOLD ITERATIONS ARE’QUITE RARE. INDEED, WHILE THE BRONZE AND SILVER TABLE MEDALLIONS, AND THE SILVER MEDAL (ALL OF THE SAME DESIGN). PERIODICALLY, THE’GOLDS’ ARE CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR ABSENCE FROM THE INTERNET. & LIKELY MISSING FROM MOST ADVANCED COLLECTIONS PRIVATE AND PUBLIC. ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO A CURATOR AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION’S NUMISMATICS DIV. REPORTED TO ME ITS VAST WORLD-CLASS HOLDINGS DID NOT INCLUDE ONE. SO APPARENTLY THE NUMBER IN EXISTENCE IS VERY, VERY SMALL. CONDITION AS PICTURED: FAINT SURFACE SCRATCHES AND TINY TAPS HERE AND THERE. NOTE THE’900′ RIM MARK. AND EXAMINE ALL THE PHOTOS, PLEASE. THIS, CLEARLY, IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF HISTORY AND. EQUALLY DESIRABLE FOR JAPANESE ROYALTY, IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY AND MEDALLIC ART ENTHUSIASTS. The back story fwiw: my dad, an oss intelligence official in wartime burma det. 101, acquired this from a captured japanese army officer. Note 7 days only! Note extreme generous start price! NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE ITEM I USE AN ENVELOPE BIG ENUF FOR A U. CHANGING ADDRESSES AFTER THE SALE IS MADE – ESPECIALLY U. TO FOREIGN – IS UNWELCOME AND SLOWS THE PROCESS ON ALL SIDES.
