The 1,000 stitch belt given to soldiers when going away to fight for the Emperor, commonly known as the Senninbari measuring 83cm in length 30cm deep. Very nicely stitched with the red Japanese sun to the middle with kanji characters below and above.

Additionally the following unissued and mounted bevo type rank insignia:
Private 1st Class; pair, not separated
Private 2nd Class; pair, separated
Superior Private; single

Condition, generally very good and better
