USCapturephotos Posted January 10, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2018 Nice find Peyton! I seem to see GI signed nsdap flags pretty often but don't seem to find many GI signed Japanese ones. You see plenty of GI brought back Japanese flags...they just seem to be unsigned. Thanks for sharing. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
