Japanese Paper Translation ?
I am not sure if this is military related or not it came with some military items.
Anybody have a idea what it means?
Thank you so much

Yes, I’m in need of a better camera than my phone. :weep:
Didn’t have time to dig out badges to fill the award loops tonight and I’m in need of some smaller torso forms. Nonetheless I hope some members can enjoy my little display I threw together.
Next up will be the Waffenrocks from the recent Andreas Thies auction as soon as I have time.
Anyways I thought I would share it with you guys. As I mentioned it is a Russian capture, but it has some very nice redeeming qualities. Its a 1940 dated 147 coded rifle. 147 is the code for the J.P. Sauer & Sohn factory in Germany. This company is one of the oldest firearm manufacturers in Germany, and they are still active till this day. Both swastikas are unmolested, this is a nice bonus as a good amount of RC K98s have them peened off. One thing that really surprised me was that the rifle had all of its accessories. When the Russians refurbished these, they almost always discarded the cleaning rod, sight hood, and capture screws. I believe the previous owner added these back to the rifle. The stock retains some faint cartouches, two eagles below an uppercase H. This means the stock was issued to the Wehrmacht.
The same day I got the rifle I actually found a bunch of K98 ammo pouches at an antique store. They were priced dirt cheap so I picked up quite a few. They all have very nice/clear maker marks. This was definitely a good birthday!

A very minor piece of ephemera, easy to overlook on its own. An advertisement for the Fire Guard, cut from a period magazine. Depicting the infamous ‘Firebomb Fritz’ character, it provides both a warning and a reassuring message to the public. The legend ‘Britain shall not burn!’ became synonymous with the Fire Guard, and with the Blitz Spirit in general.
Alongside my other Fire Guard items, I feel it complements the display rather nicely.
