hirsca Posted May 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2022 Made from a .50 caliber casing and the fuze from a Japanese projectile. Stands upright. OAL is approx. 5.25 inches. The fuze measures 20 mm and has Kanji writing. I like the way the maker sectioned the .50 caliber projectile to fit in the fins. Any help with the Kanji is much appreciated. Enjoy.

Brian Keith Posted May 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 7, 2022 Very nice! Well made, skilled maker, uncommon to find engraved like that. I would speculate it being Navy machinist or CB made. Thanks for sharing it. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted May 7, 2022 Thanks BKW. Yes, quite a craftsman. I'm thinking it must have been a sweetheart gift sent from the Pacific Theater. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
