Hello,

I found this picture on BOCN and I'd like to identify the fuze on the left.

I can't find it in my doc.

Best Regards.

Hello,

I can't find it in my doc.

That's what helps makes Japanese Ordnance so exciting, full of undocumented surprises.

I reckon that it is a good possibility that this could be a bomb transit plug. That looks to be a dummy bomb gaine made of wood. These would've been returned for reuse as was the case for other transit plugs and charge bag protectors.

Cheers,
BOUGAINVILLE
