Hi All,
Here are my recent purchase from China:
1.) IJA 改四五式 (Kai 45 Shiki) Type 45 Mod. Greatcoat
The Kai 45 was the NCO version of the Type 45. They were first introduced in around 1918 (Taisho 7). An army regulation (No.1462) stated that all military personal (NCO's) were to be issued with a new type of greatcoat (Kai 45). There are almost no difference between the two except some of the Type.
My example was Taishou 10 (大正 十) 1921 made. Size No. 6 (六號)--my size. It is in very good condition, and almost no damage (a few tiny moth holes, and some fraying). All I need is a hood. For a coat that is 92 years old, I won't complaint.
I heard that some Japanese collectors would like to get in hands on this type of coats after watching a movie call 『226』 (THE FOUR DAYS OF SNOW AND BLOOD). Based on a true event of Japanese coup d'etat, The February 26 Incident. February 26 Incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2.) Heavy Winter Coat
I don't know the designation for this winter coat, but I haven't seen an example so great as this. The first few pic was taken by the seller, (the shoulder boards were not included). This is almost an unused piece. Not only the condition, this coat's sleeves can be detached ! The fur lining is still present (what animal fur was used?). The sleeves lining are made of different materials as well. This example was Shouwa 18 made (昭和 十八), size small (小).
Size Samll Left and Right. (小左)---Small Left (小右)---Small Right
Thank you for viewing.
Regards,
Taka
