Pbaczuk Posted June 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2018 This lot is really worth your time to look at because it is from Iwo Jima and features Japanese aircraft skin and bracelets made from it. It has a Japanese coloring book that a very skilled Japanese soldier colored with crayon .. The results are beautiful . The Marine was named Booth. I am not sure who he was with.

Burning Hazard Posted June 17, 2018 Share #19 Posted June 17, 2018 Awesome grouping! Love it! I wonder if the bag was used to hold a Japanese flag or 1000 stitch belt? doesn't look very durable for holding heavy field stuff. Pat Link to post Share on other sites
