Japanese Bomb?

[Beavers]

Hello,

Found this in my Grandfathers box of WWII items. Haven't been able to find out anything about it. I would really appreciate anything anyone could tell me about it.

It's about 32mm in diameter and 120mm long.

Two back-to-back Type 88 fuze variants. Trench art or fox-hole art... Have a look here:

Thanks Tom!

My Grandfather was a Combat Engineer...it's cool to find out that this is something that he might of made.

It makes sense now looking at some of the other fuses in his collection.

I'm glad to find out what it was. I was a little worried about it possibly being live.
