more of his stuff

 

the white things are pieces of mother of pearl from the island

 

note the navy ring , dad said he wore this because if he had to hit someone in the face he wanted it to really hurt and do damage ,

 

the aluminum bracelet has a picture of the island engraved on it that matches the Japanese naval landing force canteen

I love some stuff you don't see all the time. Plus it's your grandfathers makes it even cooler. My PAPs group is my best stuff and what got me collecting as a kid. So in my book the best group you can have.
