Order of the Golden Kite

[kicker]

Hi Everyone. Can anyone authenticate this medal?

[Akira Komiya]

It is an original 7th class award with the later style wings. (Earlier awards had somewhat steeper drooping wings.)
The inscription on the lid will tell you the approximate age of the award; if the inscription is in silver, it means that the award is a post 1937 award. (The use of gold was banned in 1937.)
