WW2 Japanese Imperial Order of the Golden Kite 7th Class with Lacquer Box

Description

An original, Second World War vintage Japanese Imperial Armed Forces issue Order of the Golden Kite, 7th Class, in the original black lacquered wooden presentation box. The condition of the medal is good to fair. The ribbon shows the greatest wear, and has faded, possibly from being displayed in an area and exposed to light for many years. The metal portion is very good, with just a few surface scratches and no damage. Presentation case also has some fading to the velvet lining, but overall is very good. Hinge and clasp are both fully functional. A great piece for display with other vintage Japanese Imperial military items.
PLEASE NOTE: I will not accept or honour bids from anyone with entirely-negative feedback, or from any established bidders with an excessive amount of negative feedback. Failing to pay for any auction that you win from me will automatically put you on a list to block future bids on my auctions, which is permanent. You will also receive a non-payment strike from Ebay. Please honor your bids and pay for the auction, or do not bid. Likewise, anyone leaving negative or neutral feedback will be permanently banned from bidding in the future.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS: Please wait until I invoice you for the correct postage. Due to recent issues with the US postage system, I must now over-estimate postage quotes to avoid losing money. I will promptly obtain the correct postage quote for your country and send you an invoice as promptly as possible, usually with a few hours of the auction ending. Thank you for your patience.
PAYMENT INFORMATION: Prompt payment for all auctions is required, and you must contact me within three days of the end of the auction to confirm you have received my invoice. My payment preference is for Paypal (from verified customers ONLY) or other suitable electronic transfer method.
If you win more than a single auction from me, I will combine everything into one parcel to save postage costs, factoring in the overall weight and size of the items, and any special packing considerations.
Please check out my other Ebay listings for more interesting, rare and unusual military insignia, berets, uniforms and field kit. I have been collecting international militaria for well over thirty years, focusing primarily on camouflage combat uniforms, elite unit berets, and special forces/airborne/elite unit insignia, so you can bid with confidence. As founder/director of the International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS), long-time member of Chute & Dagger (airborne/special forces insignia society), and creator of Camopedia.org, the international camouflage pattern database, I am always pleased to hear from other collectors with similar interests who wish to share information, help with identification, arrange trades, etc. All items in my auctions are described accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and are believed to be genuine unless specifically stated otherwise. All items are sold as is, and all sales are final. Contact me if you have further questions, but please be polite and articulate if you want an answer. Thanks for looking and best of luck!
