You are bidding on a VERY FINE example of a WW2 Imperial Japanese Army Type 89 Combustion Time Fuse, used in conjunction with the TYPE 88 75mm & TYPE 92 105mm Anti-Aircraft Guns!

The Type 89 Combustion Time Fuse was standard issue for Japanese Army heavy anti-aircraft artillery during the Second World War.
