Description:

A multi-purpose training device, this "gun" is effectively a camera mounted in an oversized housing, suitable for installation in a wing mount or waist-gun emplacement. When the trigger is pulled, the camera runs, with footage being taken of what the gun is aimed at, as well as an optional stopwatch; after landing, the film can be analyzed by the trainers for proper lead and burst timing. Measuring 29 inches overall with a matte black finish, and nomenclature plates on top and on the right side behind the crank. With a hardwood transport case, two trigger assemblies (one pistol grip and one for a remote line for wing mount), two remote lines, rolls of film (both loose and with canisters) and a winding/unwinding tool.

Rating Definition:

Fine plus with 90% of the original WWII Japanese black crackle finish overall. There is a small screw missing from the rear handle, however, it appears to be all intact. Very rare to find with original film rolls and accessories. Some absent components, showing mild handing marks on the exterior. The case is good plus, with some broken/loose internal dividers and mild cracks and chips. Mechanically untested. The condition/exposure state of the film is unknown.
