I do believe you have lots, but I find it therefore all the more amazing that you hadn't developed a better feel for the subject of what is Japanese/Chinese, military/civilian, wartime/postwar. Normally one gets burned often enough to learn not to buy like a beginner by the time one brags about having a large collection.

What is it?

The large kanji in a circle is
戰
ikusa/sen
combat

The modern kanji is simplified to
戦

... Nick says this is Chinese; perhaps it is Mainland Chinese before they simplified characters; or it is Taiwanese: Taiwan still uses the traditional spellings.

As well as Hong Kong. (Well I think they still do.)

That word "Combat" doesn't make sense. In order to determine what the word really is - a trade mark or something else, a complete picture of the bag is necessary.

In addition, what are the other words? I only read "East". It doesn't make sense to me yet. The others are too small to read.
