Hi All,
I primarily collect American items as well as some German. For whatever reason, I purchased this small grouping from eBay about three years ago. I'm hoping some of you Japanese experts can provide me with information regarding these items.
1st question - Is the Japanese flag real? I did a blacklight test and it does not glow. You can see there is a red stamp on the flag.
2nd- I believe the letter is a condolence letter. The envelope has a photo of a sailor and the pictured letter was inside the envelope. Can someone provide an exact translation?
3rd- Does the newspaper article have anything to do with the letter?
Thanks for all the help!
