Here are two I picked up two weekends ago at a show....vet bringbacks, an old German friend of mine that I have known for years (he was a Luft FlaK helper as a kid, emigrated to the US, and served in the US Army) brought these in for me...his heighbor died a few months back, and I guess he was a real pack rat, had a bunch of good stuff....there may even be more ordnance. Hans is going to check, and see me at a show in a few weeks...
Anyway, he pulled out these two, plus another HE projectile in a US 37mm rimmed case. I bought all of it.
Whoever demilled these was a master...not the usual demil and chuck all the internals...Whoever did these carefully disassembled the fuzes, removed the energetics, and re-assembled them complete. The APHE has a really nice Type 94 base fuze, and the HE has the Type 93 (I think?) impact fuze.
They were sans paint when I received them, so I repainted them using the "old" color codes. I always thought the Japanese stuff was pretty colorful, although these are the first Japanese ordnance I ever owned. I was very happy to get them, and I think they are great additions to the collection.
I took good shots of the headstamps, but I have no idea about deciphering them...although they both have the "F"...
