Sea Bee flag as bas as it gets

[Paul G]

Here is an interesting picture I found on the internet today. These poor fellas are either proudly showing off the flag they just traded for, or are proudly showing off the flag they just made to trade to some unsuspecting sucker! Either way, its got to be the worst "SeaBee special" flag that I have seen.

Writing looks Korean.

Although I suppose it is a fake that writing resembles Korean. Wouldn't it be interesting if it was legit.

That makes me wonder what happens if one of the collectors happened to sell this flag on the eStand saying it was a 100% period flag he's just got it from a vet without proof... He'd probably be laughed at

[Nick Komiya]

It is an American attempt at Korean names that adorn the flag, not Japanese.

[Paul G]

The thought of Korean didn't even come to mind. I can see where you guys would say that with all those circles.

Is this a Korean war era Red Cross flag..looks like a cross in that meatball..Billbert

[hc8mm]

Good catch billbert, there is a cross there. The picture is probably dated wrong..?

Lots of Koreans joined the Japanese arm forces during WWII, so they might actually

captured the flags that were wrote by Koreans. A rear piece if it' s real.

Anyone can read or translate Korean?

I just checked with our budget lady, Ms. Hyo. She said the lettering is Hangul, but they make no sense at all in Korean, just an amalgamation of various words. Only the bottom 3 hangul on the left corner along the hoist might make sense -- it might be a woman's name, "Yun Gi-Jan" .... but she's not certain.

Yupper ... GIs getting ready to rip-off another GI !!!
