Pretty awesome thread. Very informative.

Just trying to contribute a little bit here, sorry if this is a few month old reply.

The solider in the photograph is wearing Republic of China uniform, early Beiyang republic era, not Japanese.

Sorry Lambert, but I couldn`t help you with reverse tranlation.
But I`ll try to make it up to you

Thanks a lot for correcting me Max!

Indeed this is an early republic uniform.

Looks like even later (during 20s) some cliques were using this uniform

Is this Chinese made fake or Japanese "collectors copy"? I recall the Japanese copies are usually stamped and marketed as such.

Surely even some of the more moronic E-bay trawlers wouldn't fall for that.
