    Can anyone help me identify this WW2 Japanese artillery shell fuze / firing pin?

    My father (4Corps, 14th Army) told me he found the dud shell alongside / under his truck in Burma in 1944/5 and souveniered the fuze. The firing pin was faulty and jammed.

    My own reserches have not so far helped me identify it.
