Flag Help

[Yanzou]

Hello !

I want to buy a japanese WWII flag , i just found two and i need some help to know if they are real flags or fakes :

1:


notice that on the left side they are strange characteres.

and the seconde one :



Any income will be really apreciated, thank you very much for your help

[Staldion]

Right side for the second one it would probably help.

[Yanzou]

Thank you ! if anyone need more pictures i can give more for the second one ! For the first one i only have this picture

[Edokko]

Both are good. No worries !

[Yanzou]

Here is a picture the seller gave me from the lower side of the first flag with the strage characters

He told me it was spanish writing. Isn't it strange to have spanish characters on a WWII japanese flag ?

[Staldion]

It's unsual but why not, it's make the flag more original and even cooler. "Mi querido amigo" / my beloved friend are the words we could have wrote on that kind of flag. What about the lower ones, what language could it be, do you have an idea Edokko?

Nice flags, good luck Yanzou ;]
