The pictures show a medal award document for the Green Ribbon Medal of Honor. Dated Meiji 26 [1893]. It was awarded to a fairly famous businessman and politician, Nitta Daihachirou (仁田大八郎). What is uncommon, though, is that on the left side, a very wide margin includes not only an image of Nitta but also his personal red stamp (rather, a facsimile of the same, I imagine). Has anyone ever seen any award document like this? Is it an official document issued by the Decorations Bureau?
NB: This piece is not in my possession. I saw it online.
