Item Description
Original Item: One-of-a-kind. This is a lovely USGI Bring Back from WWII: an original Japanese WWII "Meatball" National flag, captured and personalized by some U.S. Marines with an Eagle, Globe, Anchor insignia drawn onto the red sun, with a great depiction of the Iwo Jima Flag scene drawn below that. This is a fantastic capture piece, very worthy of being framed.
The flag measures roughly 24 x 36”, and looks to be made from silk or rayon, and is in rough shape with the corner tabs nearly gone. One is entirely gone and one is partial with a bit of string retained. The body of the flag is white, with a red "sun round" dyed into the middle. This flag definitely has seen some wear from service, with heavy tearing along the edges with some large tears. It has the expected age toning, and areas where the fabric has torn due to wear. This is a size that could have been used as a good luck flag, but may also have been flown as a national flag.
The drawing on the sun is only done on one side, and it is a bit faded, so proper museum framing would do wonders in improving the displayability of this piece.
This is a great piece, worthy of framing. Comes ready to display!
