Thanks Lee for posting the photos...

It appears the GI didn't know how to spell Okinawa

I almost forgot....

can anybody translate what it says in Japanese on either side of the painted flag?

Thank you

That's fake G.I. kanji intended to LOOK Japanese.

As long as it's GI painted from the period... I am pleased

I know the Japanese didn't paint to the exterior... and figured it would be GI art. Just wondering if those are actual Japanese words???

I got a awesome deal to boot...

japanese helmet

I have an idea! I could buy a reproduction WWII Japanese helmet from Stewart's Militaria and recreate that helmet! with hand painted flag and Island names, it would look nice for display
