Grouping includes a machine-stitched patch for the Jingpaw Rangers, a China-Burma-India Theater patch with embroidered silver wire stars and three snaps on the back, single shoulder strap for a German Wehrmacht artillery feldwebel (staff sergeant, gray cloth with silver ribbon trim and one metal pip), two pieces of Japanese occupation Burmese currency (rupee and half rupee bills), and a rayon printed "blood chit" bearing the American flag and a message of friendship towards the reader (and hostility towards the Japanese) in 17 languages, including English, French, Burmese, Thai, and others. With the exception of the Wehrmacht shoulder strap, all items in the grouping would be appropriate bring-back items for an American soldier or sailor posted to the CBI Theater, though no documentation about the original owner/owners is provided. Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection

Fair overall. The one rupee bill shows tape-repaired tearing, the blood chit shows some fraying on the edges and ink staining/transference, and the cloth items are very good.
