History in your hands... literally. J. Robert Oppenheimer, met with Truman in the oval office, after the end of the war. He tried to convince Truman, that we (usa) needed to slow down the progression of nuclear weapons... after the Japan A bombings. Truman basically stopped the conversation, and kicked him out, after that. Oppenheimer, had regrets for what he was in charge of developing, after seeing the total annihilation in Japan, knowing that other countries... (Soviet Union in 1949) would soon develop their own version of the "Bomb". The monster had been unleashed, that we, as a world community, are still dealing with today.

Yeah, that should be preserved properly. I have no idea regarding its value. Next week is the annual "Show of Shows" in Louisville, KY. http://www.sosovms.com/Show_of_Shows/If you have something similar in your area you'd likely also find someone reputable enough to put a good value on that. Nice historical piece!

I'll pay the OP $50 to donate it to a Bonafide period Military Museum, In honor of my Dad who served in the pacific for WW2.
Is that adequate?

Is that adequate? Should be in a Mariene or WWll Museum.

I see a lot of this sort of thing on Pawn stars, The flag itself may not be worth that much but the writings on it will boost it's authenticity and value. Have it checked out! You mean you doubt there were only purple Sharpies in theater in 1945?

I think there should be some stitching in or around the edge of the meatball that will tell you wich Japanese unit ran that particular flag
Here in houston is a [censored] flag that the Japanese government wants back It’s owned by a w2 marine and is a garrison flag. It has the stitching as I described above
