Original U.S. WWII Japanese Type 3 Ceramic Training Mine - Inert
-
Original Items: Only One Available. This is a very nice U.S. Issue Japanese Type 3 Ceramic training mine, as used during WWII. This mine is completely inert as specified by the BATF, and cannot be converted to an explosive device.
These were usually issued as part of the Mine Training Aid Set No. 2, Japanese, which consisted of a wood transit chest with metal hinges and latches holding several WWII U.S. made inert Japanese explosive devices for use as training aids. This kit was designed for issue to Engineering units, in order to prepare men for the task of dealing with Japanese ordnance in the Pacific Theater of Operations. These were fielded relatively late in the war, so they did not see much service, which is why they are usually found in such great condition.
The mine itself measures about 9 inches across, and is 4 inches tall. The condition is very good, with just a few chips and scuffs from years of storage. It still has the original rubber plug in the top, and makes a great display piece. Perfect for any pacific war collection, or maybe to complete a mine training set.
