JAPANESE SOLDIER'S  GOOD LUCK  FLAG
Japanese national flag, 28" along the hoist, 35" along the fly, silk or fine cotton with triangular leather corners and supporting strings fitted thereto. The flag is covered with Japanese writing in black ink, untranslated, but as in almost all cases these were wishes of good luck or patriotic sentiments written by friends and family before the flag was given to the soldier to carry into battle. Examples found in the U.S. were usually captured or found on or near the bodies of those killed in combat. Some toned spots, overall very good condition.

Estimate: $200 - 300.
