I think this is a Type 93 trench periscope. Made by a number of Japanese companies during the war. Yours is made by Nikko.
Hope this helps.
Nice piece! Looks minty! Would love to have one myself!
Are the optics clear?

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Do you have any idea what these things typically sell for? I saw one on EBarf for $1,200, but I think the guy enjoyed smoking crack.
Are these $50 items? $200?
If not, don't sweat it.

I saw that $1,200 one as well....smoking something. Value is what someone is willing to pay. Not a huge market for these like medals and helmets so it is difficult to put a hard $ amount. the few I have seen, have been in the $400 to $500 range?

Question. Is that in AUD and in Australia? I've seen them in the US for more (but that was dealer asking prices).
Thanks!

That is in USD$ and in the US. Monitor Feebay regularly. You will find all sorts of pricing as listing price mostly doesn't reflect its value but the whim of the seller. If you wait your chance one will come along at the right price. I waited for well over a year for mine. They do appear on Feebay from time to time and I definitely wouldn't consider them rare at all.

Thanks. I stay away from fleabay but for an item like this I think it serves its purpose as these are not faked. The prices I quoted were dealer levels which are high
