One thing I can never work out is why a veteran having earned an award would ever sell it on ? You think they would be kind of precious, perhaps its just too long ago.

Salut,

I heard abt them before & only had seen a crappy photo so far.
Many thanks for sharring it with us!!

Does anybody know more abt them ?
Were they made by jellewers in Japan or by a badge manufacturer ?
Does anybody know how many were made ?
