A nice-looking Wimple (pennant), Roundel, swastika, stitching all look to be consistent with Third Reich era made pennants.   Would have no issues adding this one to my collection..    Common uses were vertical hanging, parades and other functions,,   Leigh  

Does anyone know when these intriguing picture frames were first produced?  I’m assuming that mine is 1930’s vintage.  The photo of Brigadier E.B. Macnaghten is not original to the frame.  The darkened wood and design reminds me of a Black Forest cuckoo clock.   

With Japanese flags, how do you know it is authentic. The ones I got , are all silk. Like the one I posted. And also, when they get faded , are they worth less then clean white ones?

Just thought I add something to the topic. What do people think about this ? 

Wow thanks for the info, thank you!

I don't know if this is an original medal case, but this is a super great find from the street. Just the type of souvenir I would take home.

This item was most likely written by an IJN sailor.   Based on its contents, it appears to be a homemade manual compiling information regarding the operation of engines and various machines.

Thanks for the info Beezman, appreciate it

This is the bottom half of a USMC M-1941 pack. The top half had the shoulder straps and the strap across the top of this passed through loops on the top half. Only the top half was worn in combat. The other bag you posted is, I think not absolutely sure, a US demolition bag.  

Here is an item in my collection.  The cap and tunic belonged to Hugh Card Brown. A Canadian by birth he and his parents emigrated to the US in 1926 when he was 7 years old.  Brown joined the RAF in December 1941 as a Pilot Officer, and was posted to 133 Eagle Squadron.  On March 16, 1942, somewhere over the English Channel, he was posted MIA.  (age 22)  He and his aircraft were never located.
