VINTAGE WWII JAPANESE FLAG USMC MARINES
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6804724 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
HERE IS A GREAT WWII JAPANESE FLAG THAT WAS FOUND WRAPPED AROUND THE KABAR KNIFE I AM CURRENTLY LISTING. IT WAS WITH SOME PATCHES...AND I DON'T KNOW IF A PIECE OF PAPER IN THE LOCKER THAT SAID IWO JIMA WENT WITH THIS OR NOT. THE FELLOW HELPING ME WITH THIS SAID HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FROM IWO JIMA BEING AS THE KNIFE IS A USMC ISSUE, AND THE BLACK SAND MAY HAVE CAUSED THE BOTTOM OF THIS FLAG TO TURN GRAYISH???? MAKES SENSE TO ME!! HE ALSO SAID THE CORNERS WITH THE STRINGS ARE PERFECTLY ...DONE AND A NON MESSED WITH EXAMPLE. \THE FLAG MEASURES APPROX 29 X 42 INCHES...A PERFECT DISPLAY SIZE. LOOKS LIKE IT IS MADE OF SILK.
ONLY DAMAGE IS SHOWN A FEW SMALL HOLES....WHICH HAVE BEEN THERE A VERY LONG TIME!
THIS FLAG JUST SCREAMS HISTORY AND LOOKS FANTASTIC IN PERSON...I'D SAY A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A LONG HARD FOUGHT BATTLE!
PAY PAL...NO RETURNS...GOOD LUCK!!!!!! AND A STUPIDLY LOW OPENING PRICE AT THAT!!!!!!!
THIS IS A REALLY GREAT PIECE!
THIS GREAT HISTORIC PIECE COMES FROM MY LATE UNCLES MILITARIA COLLECTION. IT HAS SAT FOR OVER TWENTY FIVE YEARS UNTOUCHED, IN A SPARE BEDROOM. HE WAS A CAREER FULL BIRD COLONEL IN THE ARMY.
I WAS LEFT THIS COLLECTION....THERE ARE LITERALLY OVER TWO THOUSAND ITEMS!
POCKET KNIVES....PARATROOPER UNIFORMS...GERMAN GENERALS.... HELMETS...HELMETS...AND MORE HELMETS.
I WILL BE LISTING ITEMS AS I GRAB THEM....NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
THIS I DO KNOW....EVERYTHING WAS BOUGHT ...PICKED UP...AND ACQUIRED OVER TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO...HE CHERISHED ALL OF IT...AND WOULD ONLY KEEP 100 PER CENT "REAL" ITEMS. IF HE HAD EVEN THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT ABOUT AN ITEM...OUT IT WENT!!!!!
95 PER CENT OF THE COLLECTION IS WWII WWI AND EARLIER.
HE ALSO GOT 95 PER CENT OF THE ITEMS DIRECTLY FROM VETS, AND ESTATE CLEAN OUTS!
I KNOW "NOTHING" ABOUT THIS "STUFF"...BUT THANKS TO THE INTERNET, A FRIEND, AND NOTES HE LEFT WITH MOST OF IT, I AM DOING MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE ITEMS. I AM ALSO GETTING A "GREAT EDUCATION" ABOUT FAKES, DISHONEST DEALERS, AND HOW MOST GREAT ITEMS ARE JUST OUT AND OUT "FAKES" PUT UP FOR SALE.
REALLY A SHAME FOR THE PERSON WHO BUYS IT!!!!
I ALSO SEE DEALERS LIST ITEMS WITH ABSOLUTELY CRAZY PRICES FOR EVEN THE MOST COMMON ITEM, WHEN YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT WHEN OFFERED IN AN "HONEST AUCTION" THE EXACT SAME ITEM SELLS FOR A THIRD LESS!
THEREFORE ALL THESE ITEMS WILL BE LISTED FOR THE MOST PART WITH A STUPIDLY LOW OPENING PRICE WITH NO RESERVE, SO SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS WIN THE PIECE!!!!!
SO....
ASK ALL QUESTIONS..."BEFORE" YOU BID!!!!!!!
DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF ITEMS.....I CAN'T ACCEPT RETURNS...I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME!
SO...LOOK AT PICTURES WELL...AND I'LL DO MY BEST FOR ACCURACY.
KEEP CHECKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
