Boxed Set of Colonel Shoulder Insignia

[Eric Doody]

Picked up this boxed set of Meiji Type 44/Showa Type 5 shoulder rank insignia for an Army colonel at The MAX Show and thought I would post some photos of the insignia on the forum.

The first photo shows the outside cover of the box.

The second photo shows how each insignia is individually wrapped in rice paper.
