You are bidding on a VERY NICE example of a WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy Model 2 Turn & Bank Indicator, as used in many of the Japanese Front Line Fighters and bombers such as the A6M5 Type 53/63 "Zero", A7M1 "Sam", J7W1 "Sinden", J2M1 Model 21 "Raiden", and others!

This instrument measured the current Turn and of the aircraft by the use of air pressure. It was located on the main instrument panel of the Mitsubishi 53/63 A6M5 Zero, Kyushu J7W1, Mitsubishi A7M1, Aichi M6A1, Aichi B7A1, Ki-115(NAVY TYPE), Kugisho P1Y1, Aichi B7A1, Aichi E16A1, Nakajima C6N1, Mitsubishi A7M1 Model 33, Kugisho D4Y1, and Mitsubishi J2M1.

Made of aluminum and steel, this indicator is of late war manufacture. Some marks, scratches and wear, due to the age, it still retains 95% of its original finish! Features a mid-war aluminum Data plate, clearly indicating the model, manufacture, and production number. The dial still glows when UV light is applied! Like most Japanese instruments, it is VERY RARE and would be a SUPERB addition to any Japanese instrument collection!
