Japanese B-3a fuze - Feebay Stupidity

[BOUGAINVILLE]

Check this one out on Feebay. I reckon that the bidding has gone a bit high and someone has money to throw any.

whew

YIKES! That fuze is not worth that kind of money. Is it?? I just find it hard to comprehend some of the prices this stuff is fetching. Not to take anything away from that fuse, as it looks like a fine one. The seller must be laughing out loud. I have no knowledge of this fuze or its value but that seems like a s__tload of cash to me....Dano

Still on !

How come it has not been "pulled" off the site yet ?
Nice item but a bit expensive me thinks.

It is actually the B-3(b) [Type 15 Tail Fuse Model 1 Mod 2] not the B-3(a) [Type 15 Tail Fuse Model 2 Mod 1], in which the later I believe is more common - the one I posted from the Sydney Arms fair is a B-3(a)

[Look at the number of impeller vanes - the B-3(b) has five while the B-3(a) has only four......]

This is the first B-3(b) that I have actually seen! (and the last for the $$$)

I wonder if it comes with the container for that price??? :tinysmile_tongue_t:

Price-wise? Complete and in good condition ~$200-$300 (the containers are bonus!)
