This is a set of two original Japanese military medals, each preserved in its original presentation case. Both items are authentic decorations issued during the Showa period (20th century Japan) and display the formal craftsmanship and symbolic motifs characteristic of Imperial-era medals. The set includes: 1. Silver star-shaped medal (with purple silk-lined case) Presented in its original black lacquered case with silver characters on the lid. The medal features an elegant multi-pointed star form, with a silver finish and the original ribbon attached. The craftsmanship and materials indicate mid-20th century production. 2. Round bronze medal with chrysanthemum crest (with brown case) Comes in the original brown presentation case, with embossed silver kanji. The medal features the Imperial chrysanthemum crest (菊花紋) and an eagle motif, along with the ribbon bar showing Japanese characters. Likely from the Showa wartime/early postwar period based on ribbon style, case design, and inscription. Both medals remain in collectible condition, with expected age-related patina and signs of handling on the cases (surface wear, small marks). The medals themselves maintain their original details and are visually striking pieces of Japanese military history. This is an excellent opportunity for collectors of Japanese militaria, medals, war history, and Showa-era artifacts. Dimensions Approx. (per medal with case): Case size: around 11–12 cm (length) Medals: standard Japanese military decoration size Condition Medals: Good condition with natural patina. Cases: Visible wear, scratches, small spots consistent with age. Ribbons: Original and intact. Please check all photos carefully for details of condition.
