Hi,
I have been following this discussion with interest as I have recently acquired a Japanese 81mm mortar round with a Type 88 Fuze. I saw a Japanese manual for the Type 97 81mm mortar for sale on ebay. It has 2 pages which deal with the fuze for the bomb. I can't read Japanese so it is unintelligible to me! The fuze drawn looks like a Type 93. Maybe there is some information in the manual which might be useful, if someone can read Japanese?

Regards,
Draoich

Hi Dronic69,
Thank you for the good idea. Unfortunately, I do not have any better resolution/quality images than what I posted.
