10/9/18 - This is an original Japanese Commemorative Medal of 1914 - 1920 which was awarded for service in WWI and during the Russian Revolution Intervention. ( Japan occupied Vladivostok during the Allied attempt to thwart the Communist takeover of the country.) The medal is in great condition with no major notable flaws. The ribbon has normal fading but is in tact with no fraying on the edges. Guaranteed original.
