This is a rare example of the Japanese Type 100 HE Mortar Round used with the Type 97 (1937) and later the Type 99 small trench mortar. This is based on the Stokes-Brandt design, as was the U.S. 81mm, and this round was actually interchangeable with the U.S. M43A1 shell.
The Japanese Type 100 round had a maximum range of about 3,000 yards. Loaded weight: ~3kg (6.9lbs) of which 1 pound was TNT. This round is complete, except it does not have an inert fuze installed on the top. The top cap is also not currently removable. It still has the original paint markings indicating type and other information regarding the round. The paint markings are now faded from cleaning and wear and barely legible.
This piece would make a great addition to any WWII Ordnance collection. Ready to display!
