WW II Imperial Japanese Navy – MODEL 2 "KAI" 1 ALTIMETER – J2M Kikka – VERY RARE

Made of brass and aluminum, this piece is of late war manufacture, and was removed from a downed Japanese Fighter by a US Serviceman during the war.  It still retains 98% of it’s original finish, and the adjustment knob functions 100% (not sure if the altimeter is functional, however).  It features a late war Type 4 Aluminum Data plate, clearly indicating the model, manufacture, and production number.  The dial still glows when UV light is applied.  The VERY INTERESTING feature is that it retains a rotating ring (with arrow), so the pilot can adjust for sea level.  It is currently VERY STIFF and will not currently turn.  Probably needs some lubrication.  Like most Japanese instruments, this instrument is VERY RARE and would make a FANTASTIC addition to any Japanese Instrument Collection.

——————- PAYMENT —————– 

Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment.

 ——————- SHIPPING —————– 

My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate.

——————- 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.
