I am 73 years old and I have been collecting Japanese, American, and German military artifacts (mostly aviation related) since I was 12 years old. I have a very large collection of Japanese aviation items that I have decided to start selling.It has taken me over 30 years to almost complete the Zero panel in the attached picture with all original instruments and gunsight.One of the items I still need for this panel is a fuel primer body like the one in the attached photo. I already have an original plunger and knob which I have mounted in a replica body. I have an extra large primer with an original body and plunger and a replica knob that I believe was mounted above the horizon indicator in the Zero.
It was used to pump de-icing fluid to the propellers in cold weather such as in Alaska.If you have a Navy fuel primer body or know someone who does I would consider a trade for my large primer and something else. I have over 40 Japanese aircraft instruments some of which are rare that I would consider trading.
I am also looking for the cowl flaps control for my Zero panel that is located on the lower right side with a orange colored lever. The control I have in my panel is a replica.
It would help me focus somewhat if you could tell me some of the items you are looking for?
