I just bought a collection a while back. There are a lot of Japanese related items.
I located prices other sellers are asking, and I slashed the total by "A LOT!" to move this stuff out.
The total for the pieces I could locate came to over $385, with a bunch of things unidentified and not counted.
The rosettes for medals , the enameled Wound badge, The Hat Badge, The Naval stickpin, The medal on the ribbon and several other items were found.
A couple guys who have some Japanese helped me, but I want it all gone so, $135 buys it all.
That is: Buy the enamel wound badge at web price, and the rest is free! (I think the gold bar, is post war)
