ORIGINAL 1930’S UNITED STATES ARMY & MARINE CORPS COLONEL – NAVY CAPTAIN “WAR EAGLES” INSIGNIA, 1-3/8 INCH X 5/8 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK W/ OPEN “C” CATCH. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

Amakasu is historically known for his involvement in what is commonly called the “Amakasu Incident, ” a murder case that occurred during the chaos following the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, which devastated Tokyo and the surrounding metropolitan area. The incident remains one of the most controversial events of the period, symbolizing the tension between state power, the military police, and civil society during a national emergency. After serving his prison sentence, Amakasu left Japan and later became the director of the Manchurian Film Association (Man’ei) in Manchukuo. During this period, he occupied a highly unusual position, being involved in cultural propaganda while also being associated with the darker side of Manchurian politics, including allegations of involvement in the opium and drug trade under the Japanese military system. This book records Amakasu’s personal reflections written during his imprisonment, offering rare insight into the mindset of a key historical figure directly involved in one of prewar Japan’s most infamous incidents. The slipcase is present and in relatively good condition, which is uncommon for this title. There is some age-related foxing on the page edges. Please refer to the photos for details.
