As Far As I can read, "97 type xxxxxx" and then 20 items ( or mm).
Box for Ammo for T97 AT rifle??? Contents 20 rounds???
Anybody else got a better idea....
My Japanese is very basic....

Wasn't there a Type 97 grenade, maybe 20 in this box?
I think it might say,
"When found please return to AZPhil in Yuma,AZ."???????????
I don't know how the characters were verbally read. Looking them up, I got "9 7 shiki dan tei ki baku yaku chi kaku musu teki" and " 12 hotsu hai ". My guess is there were 12 type 97 detonators for the shells in the box.
I can only find references to a T97 tank and a T97 motar. The box must be for the motar accessory. There is a mention of a whistle attachment for the shell.
