1934 Imperial Japanese Emperor Visit Badge Nakajima Aircraft Medal with Box

Original 1934 Imperial Visit Commemorative Badge by Nakajima Aircraft Company. A rare prewar commemorative medal issued by Nakajima Hikoki Kabushiki Kaisha Nakajima Aircraft Co. This badge was produced in Showa 9 (1934) to celebrate the Imperial visit (Gyoko) to Nakajima's factory, and was presented only to selected employees and officials - not for public sale. The front shows the large kanji ("Hogei, " meaning "Respectful Welcome") together with the Nakajima company emblem, a propeller aircraft motif, and two flying birds symbolizing aviation and national pride.

"Imperial Visit Commemoration - Showa 9, November 16 (1934)". Later became Japan's largest aircraft producer, developing engines for the famous Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter, as well as other Imperial Army and Navy aircraft.

This makes the piece historically important as an artifact from the birth of Japan's wartime aviation industry. Original vintage item from 1934. Some aging, patina, and minor scratches consistent with age. Includes original wooden box and paper leaflet (both genuine). 3.2 × 2.5 cm. (today's SUBARU Corporation) was a core producer of Japanese military aircraft, supplying the Imperial Army and Navy with fighters, bombers, and engines.

This badge marks an early chapter of that history - a factory visit by the Emperor himself, celebrated with a limited-issue metal insignia. Own a genuine piece of Japan's early aviation history. Perfect for collectors of Imperial Japanese Army/Navy aviation artifacts and pre-WWII industrial memorabilia. International Buyers - Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
