Hey guys, might be a sensitive topic, so apologies before hand.
I've lived in China for the past 6 years and have come across a good number of antique razors/shaving paraphernalia (they do trickle around). But so far, I haven't dipped into war-era items.
I've acquired about a dozen old Gillettes over the past 2 weeks, but there's one modified/makeshift Contract Tech on the watchlist that I haven't pulled the trigger yet:
Back in those days, US and China were allies, and it may as well be a stocking stuffer for a local acquaintance. But as far as I've read, there never were much boots on the ground for Americans in China. If you were to throw a dart at anywhere else in Asia-Pacific, American soldiers and "good times" don't exactly mix. Personal things there might as well came around the same way as Lugers and guntos in America.
If you were me would you go for it? Or would you feel uneasy about how these things might have came around?
