Japanese Good Luck Flag + More

[Mp40Bran]

Here we have a WW2 Japanese "good luck flag" for review. Also for review is a visor and signed hat for review. The seller is asking for $600 for all three items. Thank you everyone for your help! I'm new to collecting Japanese items and really appreciate everyone's wisdom!

Hello,

I think hats are very good and genuine. Especially IJA wool EM/NCO field cap is wonderful. But there are doubts about the flag.
Although the kanji are written, they are all lined up and do not make sense in Japanese. And I don't think it was written by a Japanese person.
It's just my impression.

Thank you guys! Do you think both hats are worth picking up for $300 US or are they hats pretty common?

Sorry, I'm not a collector; I'm sure someone who knows will respond.

The field cap is the only valuable item. Mint example are fetching $500+ even in Japan. This one is good but not mint. I would have concerns about how stiff the chinstrap is. Visor caps aren't rare, I wouldn't like such dammaged example in my collection, I'd say it is worthless. Considering they are common I would wait for a mint one.

If he asked $300 for both caps I would try to offer $200-250 for the field cap only.
