This came in a collection with a note that it's a Japanese Aviation Cadets scarf. It's a National flag, folded to a scarf, and stamped with pilots badge and more. Appears unworn. Any thoughts on this? Original?

The stamp looks fake as used by notorious eBay seller cupman. He enhances items with all sorts of rubber stamps etcComment

Ditto to Jareth's comments - another Fake produced by the crook cupman.Comment

At best a period civilian flag messed with by cupman. I wonder if he's not even putting the ink on a repro badge. Sorry Andrew.
Cheers,

I have no idea about these two patches!
I cannot read the kanji on the small Japanese flag pin -- too small & fuzzy.
