This is markdod98 on Ebay. Presented here is an extremely interesting and scarry collection. You will see a set of uniform belonged to a WW2 Japanese medical officer who was killed in Northern China. He was shot by a bullet. You can see his uniform has the bullet hole showing how he was killed at the left flank area close to the spleen, therefore a lot of blood shed and is all over the coat and pants. His fellow soldier cut some of his hair and put it in his medicine vial to send it home. His name, rank, and branch are written on the cloth wrap that was used to send the set in a package back to Japan.
 
Also you will see the boots he was wearing when KIA and the set still bears the dirt from China. All the stuff was kept in his locker for so many years. This is really highly collectible set. If interested, you can have everything in the photo: coat with collar tabs and shoulder boards, pants, boots, hair in the vial, metal locker (very heavy), and the cloth. There are just a couple of tiny moth holes on the coat and the bullet hole. Other than that the uniform set has no damage. The wrapping cloth has a tear shown in the photo. Boots are in used condition but no damage. The locker is in used condition but no significant damage. Very nice set and well reserved collectibles.  

Price for the set:  $600.
