Description |
Japanese Data Plate, June 1944. The large rectangular Japanese metal label has eight lines of Japanese text along with numbers printed and stamped into the metal. The four corners seems to have had holes at each corner but the corners have been broken off. Two circles with a stamped anchor are at each of the two bottom corners, which indicates the plate is from the Imperial Navy. |
