    I recently bought 2 WW2 Japanese tunics, my first venture into this area of collecting. I know what types they are, but would appreciate any input from the experts on this forum, in particular the translation of the ink stamps.
    I have seen some discourse as to badges being put on after the war, so have taken pics of the stitching.
    Cheers,

    Thanks. What makes these post war? Are they original tabs, and if so, why does it seem that so may were added after WW2? By who?

    Original tabs added on post war (probably sellers/dealers) to make a very common tunic more desirable $$$$. The style of stitching on reverse of collar plus no handwritten name usually indicate post war added insignia
