Own a Piece of History. This rare artifact is an original pocket-sized Imperial Japanese Army Criminal Law and Disciplinary Code manual issued in February 1931. This compact military handbook measures only 102mm in size and was designed for soldiers to carry as a reference guide to military regulations and punishments.

What makes this item historically significant. Official publication with "Army Ministry Inspection Approved" stamp on the title page. Published just after the Manchurian Incident that marked Japan's initial expansion into China. Contains both criminal law and disciplinary regulations that governed Japanese soldiers. Metal binding posts allowed easy reference in field conditions.

Small format designed specifically for frontline troops to carry. Original 1931 edition rather than later wartime printings. This pocket manual represents the strict disciplinary system that maintained order within the Imperial Japanese Army. Every soldier was expected to know and follow these regulations, with severe penalties for infractions.

The booklet outlines military crimes, punishments, and the procedures for military justice - essential knowledge for soldiers who could face court-martial for violations. The item shows typical wear expected of a field-carried military document from this era, including water stains, foxing, and wear to the covers - signs of actual use rather than a pristine stored copy. This authentic wear adds to its historical significance as a genuine soldier's possession rather than a ceremonial or display piece.

Documents of this nature provide important insights into how the Japanese military maintained discipline during their expansion throughout Asia. Military historians, collectors of WWII Japanese military items, and researchers of military justice systems will find this an invaluable addition to their collections. This is offered purely as a historical artifact documenting pre-WWII Japanese military legal systems. International Buyers - Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
