TYPE 100 81mm Mortar Round fuse?

[bldrhouse]

This is not the Selectable Impact fuse often found on these rounds.

Anyone know what model fuse it is?

 

Translation?  Calling Mr. Bushido!

 

thanks z

[Mr. Bushido]

It's IJA "Type 88 super quick fuse【八八式　榴臼】".

 

The bottom two letters indicate it is for Howitzer or Mortar shells.

 

This fuse was also often used for Anti-tank shaped charge"Ta-Dan【タ弾】".

Mr. Bushido, I knew you would magically appear and thank you!

 

I asked the below on Japan Forum and got this from Mr. Majestic; any better idea?

 "six" and "soldier". Probably is an abbreviation for "6th infantry..

[Mr. Bushido]

I'm glad I could be of some help.

I think your guess is mostly correct.

 

Details are unknown, but it appears to represent the 6th Infantry Division or 6th Infantry Regiment.

 

Perhaps the character“八、” indicates a smaller group, such as the 8th Battalion
