A Very Rare, Intact Pad of 10,000 Japanese War-Date Postage Stamps captured in Tokyo in 1945<br />
Depicting Japanese General Maresuke Nogi<br />
Captured at the Fall of Tokyo by a duty officer Weisz, of the 8th US Army Air Corps, Tokyo in 1945, this mint and untouched pad of Japanese stamps is still<br />
unopened in their original government issue packet. The stamps commemorate and depict Japanese Army General Maresuke Nogi. A unique capture item, most<br />
soldiers brought back flags, Samurai swords and weapons; Officer Weisz however liked stamps, this is the only example of this kind of capture that I have ever seen.<br />
General Nogi was also once the governor of Taiwan. There are 10,000 stamps total in original mint condition. Amazing! $1,250<br />
