Hello, is this a WWII era Sacred Treasure? I just learned that this award is still given today so just want to be sure

Thanks

John

You seem to be asking on every possible forum, so I'll leave your main question to the other forums and just tell you here that the design was finally changed in 2003 to what is shown below. At the same time, 8th and 7th classes got discontinued and is now consisting of 6 classes.

"So still given today" is no longer the case.

Although not set in concrete, the case inscription or sometimes the proof of identity AKA Hallmark on the award itself will give you an approximate time period.

I don't see a hallmark on the piece. So is the piece an original piece and not a reproduction?
Thanks
