I recently came across this item for sale and the seller does not know what it is. It was with a us wwii navy veteran estate. Does anyone know of its meaning or importance if any? Is it military or home front?
Thanks
Joe

This is for a Imperial Japanese Navy "Donald Duck" type cap.
Here's mine (different writing as it is for a Machinest School).
BTW...the writing is backwards (i.e. reversed). Needs to be flipped over to the otherside. My wife loosely translated it as saying "Imperial Japanese Navy" but she may be off. Maybe one of our experts here could provide a proper translation.
Regards,

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

軍海国帝本日大 is the correct orientation [dunno if you changed it already]. Pre 1945 the Japanese standard orientation was right to left when writing horizontally; post-1945 they adapted to the Western method and wrote from left to right: 大日本帝国海軍
大日本帝国海軍
Dai Nippon Teikoku Kaigun
Greater Japanese Imperial Navy
[or a bit smoother: Imperial Japanese Navy]

The three proper responses: "You were right," "I was wrong," "I'll never do it again."
