goodluck flag ww2 real or fake?

[samusamu]

hello. 

help please. this flag is real ww2 or fake?

Thank you

[Shugyosha]

It’s very clean, absolutely no stains and the colour of the meatball is very red and the ink is very black…could have been made yesterday.

I reckon John is right about this ....So often wondered the same thing and I just wouldn't buy one unless it had credible provenance.

 

Its funny, whenever these appear at auction, and three did the other day in Oz, the dirty ragged one always goes for a bucket load more than ones like the above.....but ones like the above still sell 

 

I look at the seemingly never ending supply of these on the market and wonder when a pic of a 'goodluck flag' shop in China will emerge.

 

If you do buy it Marsel, send it to me for a couple of weeks....I'm sure I will be able to make it look 'a lot better', and that will certainly increase its value.

 

No disrespect intended

I agree, I was suspicious that everything looked so new.

I planned to buy it. But I didn't because you were right.

Thanks for your help
