katieony Posted September 29, 2015 Share #11 Posted September 29, 2015 An amazing group of bring-backs! Even nicer that everything is intact in the original shipping crate. Can't get much more mint than that bayonet! Thanks for posting. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpath Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted September 30, 2015 The unit address is damaged and difficult to read, but it's nice seeing the box as it is with its lid intact...I've owned several war trophy boxes, but most had missing lids.

3IDGarand Posted September 30, 2015 Share #13 Posted September 30, 2015 Nice! That's one of the nicest finds out there, complete with the crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thengr Posted September 30, 2015 Share #14 Posted September 30, 2015 Wishram Washington. Right along the Columbia River, a bit west of Maryhill Museum. Where Celio Falls was before the dam building began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted September 30, 2015 Share #15 Posted September 30, 2015 Beautiful items including the shipping box. I would have loved to have come across that. And - a 32nd Infantry Division soldier to boot. My dad's division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james127 Posted October 18, 2015 Share #16 Posted October 18, 2015 That is the coolest thing that I've seen in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted October 18, 2015 Share #17 Posted October 18, 2015 Ed, you never fail to amaze! I love how the stamps are neatly and correctly placed in the corner of the lid, right above the address. It seems odd that something so cool had to rely on a few postage stamps to make the voyage home. That box looks custom made, and may very well have been put together by a Japanese craftsman, which would be quite ironic. Neat item all around.

USCapturephotos Posted October 26, 2015 Share #18 Posted October 26, 2015 Love this! Exactly the type of item I look for for my collection. Thanks so much for sharing! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpath Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share #19 Posted October 26, 2015 I can't keep it all (ran out of room and money!), as neat as this set is it will have to go to fund other things. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpath Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share #20 Posted October 2, 2016 I'll have this on display at the MAX Show this week. Stop by my tables if you would like to see it. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted October 6, 2016 Share #21 Posted October 6, 2016 WOW! As a bit of perspective, that particular Japanese bayonet (Test Type 1, LB-234) is probably more rare than a USMC Rader stiletto. According to LaBar, only 250 sets were manufactured for the Japanese Army 1st parachute force. This may be the finest example in existence! Vet ID also! Just WOW! Thanks for posting it.
