Japanese Anti-Aircraft Cartridges

Hi,
Does anyone have any Japanese Anti-Aircraft Cartridge types in their collection that that they might like to post a picture of here on BOCN ?
I'm interested to see if the bigger material is out there in the collecting world.
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Invest

The only purely Japanese one I have is a 20x142, but I have a 25x163 Hotchkiss (used by the IJN). Nothing bigger, though.
 
I would like to see some pictures of artillery calibre Japanese AA ammunition
If anyone has any examples.
 
Ijn 88mm anti aircraft shell casing

Hi there everyone,:tinysmile_shy_t:
Here is a photo of my 88mm IJN AA shell casing. Only wished that I had the projectile to go with it.

Cheers,

Hello Bougainville,
Great picture of your 88mm shell case.
I have one of these cases arriving next week, so am looking forward to receiving it.
As for projectiles, in the same boat, so I have my ear to the ground, and if I hear anything Ill let you know.
Oz is a big place. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
