| WW2 Japanese Zero Gauge. What is it? Got this from a vet today. I was trying to find out what it was when I found this site. This came from a downed plane on Guadalcanal. What is it? It was said to have been taken from a Zero. It is in very good shape. Looks to be dated July 1940. Any help would be nice. Thanks, Justin |
