Hi Everyone.    Very excited to join WMF.  Looking forward to learning about others.    I personally collect old Iranian Flags as you can tell by my name.  If you have any for sale or can show me, please let me know. Regards,

A set of medals, documents, photographs I acquired several years back awarded to Robert James Wathen Royal Air Force. 

Definitely not WW2 Japanese, the one on the top is IJA, the one on the bottom is IJN, there were a few different models of these depending on the stage of the war. Sorry for being two years late 😁

I too love the way these material culture artifacts bring back memories of happy times of when you acquired them.  I bought this W-SS uniform from a friend and fellow collector when he sold his uniforms.  He is now deceased but it reminds me of him and his friendship every time I see this uniform.     And... thanks for the kudos.      

Looks good to me as  well.  I have an identical SA Sports armband with a period bring-back letter.      

That's an unusual set of ribbon bars... Just an observation...   An MC, plus the "pip, squeak and wilfred {with an MID!}" ribbons, all, presumably, for First World War Service, makes sense...  Then, a 25 ~ years/Silver Jubilee of King George V, {no 1937 King George VI Coronation?} and a 1939 French Croix de Guerre with no device {highly unusual, unless the device came off.  The Croix de Guerre was always awarded with a bronze, silver or gilt star, or a bronze or silver palm}.   It's still a good ~ looking jacket, and in great condition for its age.

No tailors label in tunic or pants!  Didn't think of India.  Is there a list of MC receipts? Thanks

These are clearly listed by the seller as DDR.

Great I love getting deals

Here's one to "pop your cork"...   The story here:   https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9929473/amp/Robert-Maxwells-Military-Cross-Second-World-War-heroics-goes-sale.html    

May be DDR/East German.

Came across these two close up stills  from film footage of the campaign in China, probably late 30s   One with Fur Hats is cool, here we see that these hats could be made with different fur, the nap and the color being different among them. The other, the face of a charging soldier in warmer weather is equally cool.
