Hello Everyone, I am new here. My name is Drew, I love to collect WW2 items. That happens to be Imperial Japanese Army, I will be 20 this April. I have been collecting for 7 years (WW2 in general), however IJA stuff for about 4.3 years.

These aren't the only pictures I have, I will upload more later with my Nambus', Swords, Bayonets, Uniforms, Medals, Messkits, Canteens, ect...

If you have ANY QUESTIONS, just ask please Wink

Hi Drew, welcome to the forum. You have some nice collectables, really nice for the short time you have been collecting. It would be helpful in viewing your display if the pictures were smaller so that all of each picture would show without scrolling from side to side. You have found an excellent board to post on with some knowledged people here. Post some more. riceone

Welcome to the forum, very nice stuff! Trey

A note about pictures, to address Roy's suggestion: with today's screens, and 'yesterday's eyes' - typical viewing pictures are good at 640x480 to 800x600 if hosted privately (like these), the higher resolutions are really only necessary if you're trying to print large pictures, or crop a very small section out of a larger picture to show a small inspection mark. The picture host (postimage.org) does ok with the smaller preview, then clicking on that opens to a resized larger picture (but smaller than original), and then if you really want to look at it, you can click again and you will see the original picture at full resolution.

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

WOW...great stuff. I have to say, those heads with the gas masks on creep me out.

Drew, very nice collection. I updated your post for ease of viewing, I left the links in case the picture host goes down. Really appreciate you posting. I'm not sure if I have any trinkets that would be of interest or not. My Dad and I should be at the Franklin TN TMCA show Good Friday and Saturday before Easter. Trey
