1936 Vintage Japanese Navy Crew Group Photo Light Cruiser Oi Pre-WWII Era
This is an original Japanese Navy crew group photograph taken in 1936 (Showa 11) aboard the light cruiser Oi. The banner visible at the top of the photograph clearly reads.

She was eventually sunk in 1944 after being hit by a submarine torpedo while on duty in southern waters. This photograph captures the Japanese Navy just before World War II, during a transitional period between peacetime and full wartime mobilization. Show the entire crew. Were taken onboard the vessel. Are increasingly scarce and valued by collectors of naval history, maritime photography, and pre-war Japanese ephemera. There are visible signs of age, including creases, edge wear, and small tears. However, the overall image, banner text, and crew formation remain clearly identifiable. Please review all photos carefully for condition details. Approximate 7-21days(To USA).

Ultra Rare 21st Airship Group FIRST PATTERN DI DUI Massaro 21A1
Ultra Rare 21st Airship Group FIRST PATTERN DI DUI Massaro 21A1. Three variations exist of this DI, but this is the first and was NOT adopted by the Group. Very, very few of these have survived, as only a small number of the initial batch were ever made. Type 21A1 was probably rejected by the Group because the fimbriation of the fess was too wide. Type 21A2, the approved type, was worn into the early 1930’s but was replaced with 21A3, the entire coat. Of arms and considerably brighter DI. A sample of this type was never approved. Type 21A2 (same but narrow silver cross bars) are occasionally seen and 21A3 (different design) are common. In my 30 years of collecting DI’s I have seen maybe three or four of these. See photos and message and questions.
