Post by stewy80 » 03 Dec 2014, 00:57

This is my first post on this forum so I hope I am going about this correctly. I am looking for help identifying this medal. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stewy

Stewy,
Not an official "national award"..... probably from a "Society or Association".... the text would tell (sorry, I don't read "kanji").... symbolism would certainly indicate "Right wing Neo-fascist Pan-Japanese from pre-45.... (assuming I admit).

Post in the Japanese section/translation section...

Interesting medal....I'd add it to my Japanese collection if I "came across it".....
