Kempeitai uniform

[Guripa41]

Hello!

Please what are yours toughs about this kempei uniform?

Post war added insignias?

About the armband, i know that many fakes were made just after the war. But can't say for this one.

Thank you very much in advance.

Need to see reverse of collar we’re tabs are attached. Looks like a pimped out common Officer tunic. I wouldn’t pay a premium.

Thank's, i try to get a picture of the reverse of collar . What do you think about the armband?

[Jareth]

These armbands are extremely difficult to judge. Do a board search and you’ll get a better understanding.

Dated 1938.

Question: If an officer's uniform -- private purchase -- why does it have a depot date-stamp? I know next to nothing about these things.

Guy, my guess is photo of depot doesn’t belong or pertain to this tunic

Ah! Now I see -- the Showa 13 depot stamp is on the brassard.

Thanks Jareth.
