made a mistake, tunic #2 does have a belt look on the lower left back, tunic #1 does not.

Wow! Really nice find there.

Some things to point out:
- The first cap is civilian with a star sewn on, you can see 配 which is ration
- Second cap says Showa
- The boots are Showa 5 type, Showa 16, made by Asia Shoes, now Madras.
- The short tunic is 決戦服=final battle clothing, made after 1944

Here is a similar set that was at the SOS this year with camo to the cap, haversack, canteen and shorts.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I found there was actually a 4th flag, a national flag with the gold foil corners in mint condition. I will soon me putting some of the items on the estand.
