Japanese Bolo, with capture paper

132nd was pre-printed on paper, not filled in. As we have noticed, unlike guns captured in Germany, those guns captured in Japan seldomly came with paper. Assumption could be so few papers were issued, old blank paper was still available and one was used.

On my intuition, I felt this one most likely being right. First, the gun is healthy. No doubt about that. Second, the story is not colorful, fake story is supposed to be more complex. The paper itself does look too new for its age, could be a re-print.

The good thing about this one.... the soldier is still alive, story can be verified.
