Collection of Flags. What are your thoughts?

[Wolf11B]

After learning about Cupman(stampman) and reading other threads about him I wanted to show my collection to get your thoughts on my flags.

Bought all of these from local sellers, some from sons of Veterans, others from reliable sellers, but kind of unsure about some now after finding out about the famous Cupman. Was worried since I know one of the sellers I bought from said he got one of the flags off a "reliable" seller off ebay, but did not know his name.

All flags are authentic.

First red seal
武運長久
Buun chōkyū
[continued luck in the fortunes of war]

second red seal
山口
Yamaguchi
[a common surname]

The third stamp appears to be an artist's seal -- art names are difficult. I cannot make out the first kanji, and the fourth one is just a guess. I'm only certain of the middle two kanji.

?緑自玲
? Green / Self [sound of the tinkling of jade]

Hopefully Mr. Chen or other native Chinese or Japanese speaker can read the old seal script and correct my attempt.

They all look good to me too. Stampman's seals have not yet been copied to mimic authentic shrine or temple seals as far as I know....yet. GHP pointed out that one of your flags has an artist's seal on it. These often do not indicate the person's real name, but rather give a pen name (nom de plum (sp?)) or something similar. The artist often chose a name that appealed to him and then used that whenever he made a post on something, i.e. wrote something, created an artist piece, etc.
