Thank you for your assistance. When you say that the second flag is reversed, do you mean that the picture is showing the "back" of the flag?The first flag is upside down. The name of the recipient is 保坂常久 Hosaka Tsunehisa. I can't judge the authenticity.
The second one is reversed. This is most likely a fake. The words such like ビルマ戦線 "Burma Campaign" or ラングーン上陸 "Landing on Rangoon" are never written on a flag.

then you should explain things like this and not say it don't happen no you said never.
i do not feel you are qualified to authenticate online.
And what is every other person in every forum you frequent on this subject doing but giving opinions regarding authenticity? Do you berate them too? Did you go back and tell the people who misrecognized sosho that they don't know what they are talking about? And tell them to read books about Japanese calligraphy so they can become experts on the topic?I stand by what I said I feel if you are going to give opinions on authenticity you should know all there is to know other than that it is just a guess? I do appreciate the help if I did not I would not donate. you can not expect me to say nothing if I feel something is wrong. I may not be able to read these flags but I myself have studied them for years think I am ok identifying fake from real.

Just in my personal impression, it's questionable.
Just out of curiosity, how do you differentiate authentic flags and old fake ones that were made as a souvenir for US soldiers in that time without knowing what's written on a flag? You can find examples that contain fictional organization or location names that didn't exist in that era or even the date after the war which were an obvious evidence to show clearly the flag was a fake even just in this forum. Is there a way to identify that those are fake flags without reading Japanese words/phrases, which were written perfectly by Japanese people in that time? It seems to me that there indeed must be another "language barrier" where language skills are critically important to check the authenticity of flags.I may not be able to read these flags but I myself have studied them for years think I am ok identifying fake from real.
It means you have one less tool at your disposal.I can not read german either so does this mean I can not identify the authenticity of German stuff?
