Thanks I will look into this for sure, it is so interesting to learn more about this , the more I read about what you are sharing the more I think I need to grab it! Also I will send you a PM DiGilio !

Wow so cool thanks again for all your help! it is such a neat piece of history!

for sure! And yes, I believe so as one of the mods said I should post it here to begin with. I was mostly looking for an ID on this bring back. But at this point I fee I have the information I need : )

Thank you so much for everyone help on this one! I really appreciate learning about different countries, especially their militaria! Would you all say this is a rare flag ? The seller is asking bout 130$, I personally have never seen one until this one. It is about 20 to 40 inches without the fringe I would say....

Hello Friends! I came across this flag, I believe it to be a Japanese naval retired officer regiment flag. It's a bit rough but what do you expect? (haha!) Can someone please help with the translation of the hand written part? I assume it is the city or something. A admin friend will be uploading photos shortly!.. Thanks so much!

I'm looking for any items related to Lester S Whipkey , he served during World War 2 , he died in the 1960s in a accident. He was from West Virginia.

Just got a really interesting KIA document , president memorial doc, related to Robert A. Mett, a NJ resident he was a part of the LCI 232, sunk on Utah Beach. Having visiting Normandy myself this was a very special item for me to be the care taker of... Would love to find a photo of the ship or more things related to him! i will try to upload a photo of the document later..!

I have seen a lot of flags being sold from a museum collection on heritage, amazing the only provenance is some type of donation form , nothing more!
