Published in 1930 (Showa 5), this is a rare pre-war Japanese proletarian literature book titled. Army Disease (Gun Tai Byo). The book was published by Senkisha and marked as part of the “Japan Proletarian Writers League” series. As the name suggests, the Japan Proletarian Writers League was a communist-oriented writers’ organization that promoted anti-war and anti-military ideas during the early Showa period. This work focuses on themes such as. Psychological pressure inside the army. Poverty in rural farming communities. Exhaustion and suffering of soldiers. At the time, these themes were considered socially and politically sensitive. What makes this book especially important is its publication date. It was printed in 1930, before the Manchurian Incident (1931), during a brief period before militarism rapidly expanded across Japan. In the years that followed, anti-war thought and criticism of the military were increasingly suppressed, and many left-wing organizations and writers became targets under the Peace Preservation Laws. Because of this historical background, surviving publications like this are now quite scarce. Rather than just an old book, this is a surviving historical artifact from a period when alternative political and social ideas still openly existed in prewar Japan. The cover artwork is also striking, showing an exhausted soldier and rural imagery rather than heroic military propaganda imagery commonly seen in wartime publications. Printed: November 25, 1929. Fifth Edition Published: January 15, 1930. Showing that the book already had a readership at the time. An excellent item for collectors interested in. Communist / proletarian movements. Heavy age wear, stains, creases, edge wear, and paper aging consistent with its age of nearly 100 years. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.

For sale is an all original Adrian Helmet used by the Communist Republican Forces in the Spanish Civil War. The helmet overall is in very good condition, showing definite evidence of field battle use. There are two prominent dents in the top left of the helmet, no doubt caused by flying debris. The helmet has much of the original olive drab green paint, as well as the original red star in the front. Above the red star are remnants of a black circled divisional symbol. The inside of the helmet has the proper 4 tab attachment system for the liner. Also included is an original five tongued helmet liner that is in much better shape than the helmet. The helmet liner is unattached to the helmet. This is an incredibly rare helmet, as very few survived, and originals rarely if ever come to market.
