Imperial Japanese Army pilot's uniform

I have an original WW2 Imperial Japanese Army pilot's uniform, flight cap, and googles for sale. Both the flight suit and flight cap are dated 1942 (昭和十七). The flight suit is the rarer, winter version and is fur lined. Both of these were issued by the Imperial Japanese Army (the army and navy each had their own air forces). The army items bear the imperial star on the forehead of the flight cap, whereas the navy had a folding peak. The googles are also higher-end items, with red metal frames, which in my opinion are the best looking set available. Would look great displayed, or ideal as a onesie for winter (if you're into that kind of thing...) For reference see Imperial Japanese Army and Navy Uniforms and Equipment by Nakata Tadao p118.
