Description: Extremely rare world war 2 Japanese field equipment Scope no. 595 Issued May 1944 Around the corner scope also used as anti aircraft artillery strike scope Comes with original box with inner instructions 10x6 Made by Nikko Japanese stuff is always harder to find considering our military was destroying it mass quantities to keep them from having them. WW2 Japanese equipment is considered rare primarily because of the severe limitations on resources Japan faced during the war, leading to a significantly lower production of military equipment compared to the Allies, coupled with the extensive destruction of Japanese factories and infrastructure due to Allied bombing campaigns towards the end of the war; meaning fewer items survived to be collected today. Key factors contributing to the rarity of Japanese WW2 equipment: Limited resources: Japan had a scarcity of essential materials like oil and steel, which heavily restricted their ability to produce large quantities of weapons and military hardware. Industrial capacity constraints: Compared to the Allied powers, Japan had a much smaller industrial base, further limiting production capabilities. Heavy bombing campaigns: Allied bombing raids, particularly towards the end of the war, devastated Japanese factories and infrastructure, destroying a large portion of their remaining military equipment. Island hopping strategy: The Allied "island hopping" campaign in the Pacific meant that many Japanese weapons were destroyed or abandoned on isolated islands, making them difficult to recover later. Post-war restrictions: Following the war, strict regulations were placed on the collection and sale of military artifacts from Japan, contributing to the rarity of Japanese WW2 items on the market today.
