knifeguy Posted July 24, 2024 #1 Posted July 24, 2024 Picking this up next week. I believe a torpedo inert training or educational cutaway?
ordnance Posted July 25, 2024 #2 Posted July 25, 2024 Nice. That's an AN-Mk 230 Hydrostatic tail fuze for a depth bomb. It's armed in the air via air flow against the propeller and functions at a specified depth under water, 25 to 125 feet as set on the side dial.
knifeguy Posted July 25, 2024 Author #4 Posted July 25, 2024 I haven't picked it up but no clue what it's worth
knifeguy Posted July 25, 2024 Author #5 Posted July 25, 2024 I have never even seen something similar offered for sale lol
ordnance Posted July 26, 2024 #8 Posted July 26, 2024 I had one 10 or 15 years ago. If memory serves I paid just under $100 and traded it off for about twice that much in value. To be honest, it's really hard to price very unusual pieces like this as they trade hands so infrequently.
knifeguy Posted July 26, 2024 Author #9 Posted July 26, 2024 Hope to pickup Tuesday and will update with photos
ccyooper Posted July 27, 2024 #10 Posted July 27, 2024 That is a very nice piece. Thanks for sharing and thank you Ordnance for the description as it would have taken me a while to identify or send it to someone that could.
knifeguy Posted July 27, 2024 Author #11 Posted July 27, 2024 I would never have been able to guess lol
