I picked up this Japanese 70mm howitzer shell today at an local antique shop. It appears to be in good condition someone wrote on the side and bottom of the shell Jap mortar, yeah right. Enclosed is some info I gleaned off the internet. I'm wondering how hard it will be to find the projectile.
The Type 92 Battalion Gun was a light howitzer used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. The Type 92 number was designated for the year the gun was accepted, 2592 in the Japanese imperial year calendar, or 1932 in the Gregorian calendar. Each infantry battalion included two Type 92 guns; therefore, the Type 92 was referred to as "'Battalion Artillery'". http://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures...
