Description
This instrument measured the current airspeed by the use of air pressure. It was located on the main instrument panel of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Mitsubishi J2M1, and others!
Made of aluminum, this instrument is in SUPERB used condition!!! Removed from a downed Japanese A6M “Zero” by a US Serviceman during the war, it still retains 98% of it’s original finish! Features a mid-war Type 4 rivetted data plate, clearly stating the model, manufacture, production number. Dial still glows when UV light is applied, and still appears to be functional! I have indicated it’s location in the last photos. Like most Japanese instruments, this gauge is VERY RARE and would be a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
