Description


You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 Imperial Japanese Army Type 97 Hydrometer Fuel Quantity Gauge, as used in then the Ki-57,  Ki-48, Ki-102, and others!
 

This instrument measured the current Fuel Quantity.  It was located on the main instrument panel of the aircraft.

  

Made of brass, aluminum, and steel by Mitsubishi Denki, this instrument is of late war manufacture.  It was taken from a downed Japanese aircraft by a US Serviceman during the war.  It still retains 95% of it’s original finish, however the data plate is missing. There are some slight marks and scratches due to the age, but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance.  The dial still glows when UV light is applied.  Also still retain the original bulb that lights up the red warning indicator.  I have shown its location in the last photos.  Like most Japanese instruments, this gauge is VERY rare and would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese Instrument Collection.
 


 Please email me if you need additional photos or information.

——————- TERMS OF SALE —————– 

Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase. 

 

——————- ABOUT ME —————– 

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
