So logically the charm was created either before Ichigo and Co went into soul society to rescue Rukia or during those events. Cause immediately following those events he gave it to ichigo with a lie and the information he told kon was the truth "This charm always belonged to you"

Well, Ichigo got the charm prior to the SS arc, so we know it was created before he went into Soul Society. Another thing that's been bothering me, if we assume that Isshin did infact create that charm for Kon, is why didn't he create similar charms for Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin, when it became clear that they could sense, and even see spirits? Isshin must have known that they risked being targetted by Hollows, long before Kon ever entered the picture. Ichigo also remarked that the charm looked old, and filthy, which contradicts the assumption that it had been made recently.

That's another thing which I find odd. Why does it say, on Isshin's page, that Isshin is a Kido MASTER, when the only Kido he's known to have performed is a barrier that hid his Reiatsu!?? (At least I can't recall that he ever used any other Kido) *shrug*
