This two-piece style, which is hollow, and made of stamped metal with a thin back plate, is known as Höhlverbodet. The obverse of this badge has great character, with light, even wear that exposes much of the brass-colored base metal. The remaining silver finish in the recesses shows pleasant age toning. It’s a finely detailed piece, with incredible fine detail throughout the design. The reverse of this Imperial Prussian Pilot Badge. The backing plate is applied perfectly, with no solder visible at the seam. The hardware setup features a barrel hinge, round wire pin and catch, and is intact and unrepaired. The typical hole near the catch reveals the hollow nature of the construction. These early pilot badges are tough to find. This beauty of a badge remains in excellent condition. I believe it has been cleaned though. The Imperial Prussian military instituted a number of flying awards and badges prior to 1918, to recognize the skills and achievements of pilots and air crew before and during the First World War. The Prussian Army Pilot’s Badge was officially instituted by the King of Prussia and Emperor of the German Empire Wilhelm II on January 27, 1913, as a qualification badge. The criteria for the award of this badge evolved during WWI, making it more of an award; pilots were expected to have completed some actual combat flying. In addition to the Pilot’s Badge, an Observer’s Badge was also instituted; in January 1918, an Air Gunner’s Badge was instituted as well. There was also a Commemorative Flyer’s Badge, which commemorated service with the German Army air service. Wear of these badges continued after WWI by those men who had earned them.

Antique imperial Japanese medal. Step back in history with this rare Antique Imperial Japanese medal, a tangible reminder of the Korean Annexation. Established by Imperial Edict No. 56 in 1912, this bright gilt bronze medal commemorates Japan’s controversial integration of Korea in 1910, following a series of political maneuvers and conflicts that placed Korea under Japanese rule until 1945. The obverse features intertwining branches of the pawlonia and plum-imperial symbols of Japan and Korea-topped with the chrysanthemum crest, signifying the union. The reverse is inscribed with “Korean Annexation Commemorative Medal”, “Meiji 43rd year (1910)”, and the date of the annexation, “8th month 29th day”. This medal is not just a piece of memorabilia but a historical artifact that represents the complex and often painful ties between Japan and Korea. The ribbon, a watered silk in gold with white edges and a vermilion center, combines the national colors of Japan and the Imperial colors of Korea, symbolizing the controversial nature of the annexation. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of history that speaks of an era that forever changed the course of East Asian politics. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
