Best Answer

A katana, kyu gunto, or shin gunto Sword was the most desirable battlefield momento.

A Type 4 or Type 14 Nambu semi automatic pistol was a choice find.

A Type 94 automatic looked like hunk of junk, but was prized for its smaller size.

The C96 German Mauser with stock drew a premium price.

The Type 26 Revolver was a rare find.

The Type 44 Cavalry Rifle and Type 97 Sniper rifle were prized but most would be forced to pick up the high production Type 38 all by Arisaka.

Some contented themselves with the ghoulish practice of collecting gold teeth.

Who has more ribbons army or marines?

The Army because they give out ribbons for practically anything. For example, both Marines and Soldiers throw a grenade at some point in training but Soldiers get a ribbon for it and Marines do not. =================================== Take the above answer with a grain of salt. Soldiers DO NOT get a ribbon for completion of hand grenade training. And while there is a marksmanship identifier for hand grenades, you'll never see anybody wearing it.

Why is the Iwo Jima famous?

Iwo Jima is famouse because of the long, hard and deadly battles that were fought between the Allies and Japanese soldiers, naval people and the marines. It is considered one of the bloodiest battles of World War Two. It would take me a long time to explain all the details of the battles of IWO JIMA so I am adding some links so you can read the extremely lengthy details. It also was a place that taught the Allies how to fight the Japanese better at the next Islands. See related links below.
