Rare Japanese Navy Meiji era 76mm AP round. The case date is “6/36”, that’s 6th month, 36th year of Meiji. (June 1903) Both the case and projectile have been cleaned at least once but in very good condition for its age. The primer Is an electrically fired type. 117 years old.
I am not an expert on German Artillery but apparently the Japanese Army acquired German Flak 18 37mm AA guns and manufactured ammo for those guns. This is the first time I have seen this kind of ammunition, German in appearance but made at the Osaka Arsenal November 1943. Super!
This is a WWII era Beehive Mine. It was used by the Japanese Army but I believe it is of Chinese origin. A captured mine reissued by the Japanese. These were recovered on Okinawa. I am looking for a deactivated specimen for sale. It must be empty and FFE. Message me. Thanks.
