Japanese Fuze type 88 sectioned

Hello

Ages ago now I used to frequent a scrap metal merchant over here in Australia. One day I walked in to find two 44 gal drums full of Japanese fuzes, every type made by the Japanese. A friend and I bought the lot and spent the next few years selling and trading them away. My friend sectioned every fuze type, if I can I will get some pictures next time I'm at his place.
Nice job

Hey Fuzeman

I spoke to my mate today, he tells me that he has quite a few Japanese fuzes left over and he will check either today or tomorrow let me know, so stay patient

Japanese fuzes

Hi Iain,
I'm way up here in Innisfail North Queensland. Happened to be looking in the sectioned section and came across your submission. Do you our your friend still have any Japanese fuzes for sale? Or if not does he have any spare parts floating around as I am also after a few parts.
Cheers,
BOUGAINVILLE
