All of them?

No the flags and bags. 150-250 pounds for a plain unsigned pocket flag. Pffft

Not my subject at all but I guess you are in USA? Maybe not so many of these in the UK hence higher value? Dunno.

Swords look very sensible and likely to make much more….imo.

The internet has levelled the world market. Yahoo, ebay and jauce. 

 

Very common, very affordable on this platforms

Be interesting to see. The fact that they are already in the UK and immediately available with no shipping, import taxes etc etc might help them along a bit.

The swords look reasonable, I'm sure they will go higher. There is some scarce and desirable headgear, priced within reason.

Thanks so much for sharing Matsunoki.

There are some really interesting swords and rare Japanese militaria that rarely show up in the U.K ,and as you say easier to obtain without the dreaded shipping problems .
