WW2 Imperial Japanese Pilots Lot Suitcase Sword Headband Wings Medal Banner.A Japanese pilots personal lot in his suitcase. There are many interesting things; an equipment bag, two sets of pilots wings, a wool flight suit collar, a medal box with pin and rosette, a medal, a religious banner?, a Kamikaze headband, a short sword scabbard and sword bag, and keys for the suitcase.
The suitcase has wood trim and is 34” x 18” x 8”. It has custom built features, one is holder for a sword, the other is a ring to hold an officers hat.
The headband is cotton with a cherry blossom stamp on the back.
The short sword is an old samurai case, nice tsuba, wrapped handle with gold trimmed menuki. The blade is missing, replaced with a wood blade. ( the original steel blade was likely used for the pilots personal demise as is tradition)
A nice lot, and rare. All museum quality original items.
