Gun show Japanese items

[Steve Flanagan]

Had an old collection brought to show this weekend. The usual mix of mostly original and some bad items. Several relatively common Japanese medals and a silk flag that has many things written on it. Appreciate the help on three medals and flag. Will probably frame flag.
Thank you!

Nice flag! Chinese medal is very interesting. Never seen one of those before.

The Chinese medal is a medal made for "tourists" and most are fantasies or fakes. You can get these for a few dollars on ebay with free shipping from China.
