**INERT**DEACTIVATED**SCARCE**WW2 Japanese Army Type 89, 58mm High Explosive H.E. Mortor Round For Type 89 ‘Knee’ Mortors Strippable & Complete With Original Finish. O 2400 - O 2400
**INERT DEACTIVATED** The Type 89 Grenade Discharger, inaccurately and colloquially known as a knee mortar by Allied forces, (derived from the curved base plate) is a Japanese grenade launcher or light mortar that was widely used in the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II. It could fire incendiary rounds, smoke rounds, and high-explosive rounds. This is a scarce WW2 Japanese type 89 high explosive mortor round (A diagram of a Type 89 Mortar round is illustrated on page 373 of a U.S. Army Technical Manual Japanese Explosive Ordnance and is reproduced in image 1 together with a period image of a Type 89 Mortar in during WW2). The explosive components of these rounds were: Main charge: TNT. Propellant: Nitrocellulose diphenylamine flaked powder. Our example has its all original finish, black over all with red band at nose and Yellow cylinder band (Navy examples were maroon colour all over). It has the correct Type 88 small instantaneous fuze. The body of this shell is made of three parts. The propellant base housing houses the propellant container and the percussion primer. The main shell base cover is threaded to the top section on one end and to the propellant housing on the other. The top section has an opening in the top to receive the fuze. On firing, the gases generated blow through the ports in the base housing, expanding the copper rotating band into the rifling of the discharger giving a gas seal and imparting rotation to the shell. The fuze, copper band, hollow casing & brass collar with pronged pin and pull string have Japanese kanji marks and numbers (all illustrated). The price for this scarce WW2 Japanese Mortar round includes UK delivery. NB No license is required to own this inert deactivated round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display.

**VERY RARE**Original**WW2 DAK Panzer Tank Troops North Africa Campaign Locally Theatre Made Deutsches Afrikakorps Cuff Title. Sn 23310:1 - 23310:1
The "Afrikakorps" cuff title was first officially authorized as a corps designation badge on July 18, 1941, for members of the DAK (Deutsches Afrikakorps) who served in North Africa. Before this date, and even after, some soldiers (particularly officers) had their own versions privately made. Early, locally produced cuff titles exhibit variations due to their manufacturing origin in North Africa (likely Tripoli) and Italy, where they were contracted out by local Arab or Italian manufacturers. These early and private purchase versions are distinct from the later "Afrika" campaign cuff title, a formal award instituted by Hitler in January 1943, which was of a standardized design for all three services. "Theatre-made" Afrika Korps cuff titles were unofficial, locally produced variations that pre-dated the official award or were privately commissioned by officers. These differ from the standard-issue titles in materials, colour and construction method. Today, these early theatre-made originals are very rare and highly sought after by collectors. This is an original, very rare, early Locally Theatre made, WW2 Afrika Korps (German: Deutsches Afrikakorps) Panzer Troops cuff title. The black material and embroidered edge bands and gold stitching ‘AFRIKAKORPS’ are clean and intact. The price for this very rare DAK cuff title includes UK delivery.

C1860’s Edo Into Meiji Period Japanese Aikuchi (Dagger Without Tsuba) Scabbard With C1840’s Ko-Gatana Side Knife Carry Bag Cover & Expert Assessment. Sn 23417 - 23417
This Aikuchi has been assessed by UK Japanese sword expert Bill Tagg. A copy of his hand written notes and illustrations accompany the knife . In his notes he states “Blade mounted as an aikuchi (dagger) looks to have been shortened from a longer sword. Difficult to judge age, possibly Edo into Meiji period. Tang end cut square & filed & altered in shape from what’s left. Possible soshu style blade. Out of polish but bright, lots of scratches & old blackish rust one side. Tempering obscured, only vague hamon shape appearing, no grain to be seen. Needs a proper polish. Mounted in 19th century fittings (possible export). Wood saya with dark brown/red speckled lacquer finish. Small bits of damage. Kojiri & koiguchi in patinated copper, matching the copper sleeves, and fitted copper kurikata has no gatana slot. Tsuka is blackened fish skin, polished and wrapped around wood core. Has mounts matching saya mounts. Fuchi / kashira in copper. Finished with copper mekui peg with male & female sections with engraved flower emblems. Some fish skin missing and wear & tear to pins & mounts. An interesting export aikuchi with an older blade. P.S. A ko-gatana (side knife) has been fitted to this aikuchi. This is an export piece circa 1840s with brass hilt and blade has Japanese company logo / emblem”. In his illustrations of the blade he observes ‘cutting edge just under 28.5cms (length) and describes other blade & tang characteristics which can be seen in the images. The dagger comes with a cloth carry bag / cover. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23417 (tanto box armoury floor)
