It's a Japanese Order of the Golden Kite in some fairly high class (sorry, dunno) in rather battered condition.

That was their highest bravery award, with class dependent on recipient's rank.

Original? Dunno.

It's seen better days, poor thing!

Japanese Order of the Golden Kite. Chain is incorrect.

Whoops! Rick beat me by milliseconds.
