      This collection would look great in a shadow box. Noticing over many yrs. that German souvenirs sell for much more than Japanese war souvenirs & also have noticed that Nipponese is much more popular on the left coast. Nice collection.

      Thanks much buss!

      Unlike a lot of the stuff out there, this stuff is REAL. Amazing quality of construction when compared to a lot of the repro junk.

      Great set Scott. I was admiring the embroidery on those patches and the quality of the braid.
      As you say, amazing quality of construction.

      Thanks racer.

      I don't know Japanese militaria, but after doing some online searching; I could see major differences in the quality of these items vs. most of what I saw online.
