DaveM4P99 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 A captured flag in the Battle of Okinawa museum in Okinawa...Any ideas what the markings say? They had a few really nice looking swords there too...who knows if they have been properly appraised though... Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Nice silk material. The large letters across the top say 祈奮闘. (=奮戦) Pray for the fight There seem to be some personal names and ranks, and the name of a Jinja, 本土神社 Hondo Jinja I can also see 身体安全 Be safe in body Quote
