Prevalence of fake Good Luck Flags

How common are Good Luck Flags that are post WW2 fakes? I wonder if I am now over-concerned.

Looked at one on Sunday but decided not to buy. At first glance it looked attractive, it had a few small drawings that were appealing. One was a little girl’s head with typical pudding bowl hairstyle, and another a soldier’s head and shoulders. I did wonder about these though. I think the key thing that put me off was that I could see in one of the ’signature’ strings mama and papa written in katakana, which just didn’t seem right for WW2.

Cheers,
Tony
