USCapturephotos Posted January 12, 2015 #1 Posted January 12, 2015 Here is my new prize with loads of research potential. It just arrived today. The photos of the GI's are reprints and I am waiting to see if the person who sold it to me was able to get any more information about the GI's in the photo. At any rate I am very, very pleased. Paul
USCapturephotos Posted January 12, 2015 Author #2 Posted January 12, 2015 And again a little bit closer. Paul
USCapturephotos Posted January 12, 2015 Author #3 Posted January 12, 2015 I forgot to mention that the photo on the right is the same flag after it was painted. The edges have been folded over so it looks smaller but under inspection of the painted lettering, I am sure it is the same one. Paul
mvmhm Posted January 13, 2015 #4 Posted January 13, 2015 Very groovy flag! When I collected German stuff I had a small sub-collection of signed and bring back items....wish I kept some of them! Mark sends
USCapturephotos Posted January 13, 2015 Author #5 Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks Mark. Yeah, I'm pretty particular with my German/Japanese pieces. I only keep the ones that I have really good provenance too or have been signed or written about. I can't wait to do some research. Paul
USCapturephotos Posted January 18, 2015 Author #7 Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks Tim! Yeah. I am really tickled with this one. I am going to start doing some research soon. Hoping to find a veteran still alive from this battery. Paul
V42 Posted June 27, 2015 #9 Posted June 27, 2015 Nice flag with the painted writing and to top it off a photo to boot. Great to have a load of names so a little research is in order.
USCapturephotos Posted June 27, 2015 Author #10 Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks V42. Haven't had the time to do any serious research yet but I will. Paul
American Heritage Posted August 9, 2015 #11 Posted August 9, 2015 very compelling piece! the stories those veterans could tell....
ViewfinderGyrene Posted August 9, 2015 #12 Posted August 9, 2015 Took me until the second photo to realize this was signd lol! Excellent find, Paul!
muddyboots Posted August 9, 2015 #13 Posted August 9, 2015 Great flag ! I love signed flags. I have a small one but have had no luck so far finding any vets still alive. Good luck on the research.
USCapturephotos Posted August 9, 2015 Author #14 Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks for the feedback guys. Pictures of this flag will most likely be in Bill Shea's new book on GI war souvenirs that is slated to come out next Spring. I have a few signed flags and have traded/sold a few over the years but this is my favorite by far. Paul
USCapturephotos Posted August 10, 2015 Author #16 Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks so much. I really love this piece. Paul
