This specialized reference is a detailed identification and study guide to Imperial Japanese Army proficiency badges spanning the years 1888 to 1945. Written expressly for serious collectors and researchers, it is designed as a practical attribution tool rather than a general historical overview.
The book thoroughly examines construction techniques, manufacturing methods, and variant characteristics that have long been misunderstood or overlooked in earlier publications. Particular emphasis is placed on subtle but critical differences that allow accurate classification and differentiation between closely related badge types.
Several variants illustrated and analyzed in this volume have never before been formally documented or systematized in print. Drawing on years of focused research, this work stands apart from existing literature and has no direct equivalent currently available.
Only a limited number of copies remain from the original print run.
