Hey folks,

I'm new here. I spend most of my time on the M1icon and 1903 board. I'm at Kwajalein Atoll doing some archaeological work on the WWII battlefield.

I did'nt dig this, it was found in fill dirt by someone else and turned in to me. I suspect this is a muzzle cover for a type 38 or Type 99 rifle. I've heard of these, but never seen one in the flesh. It is brass and would probably clean up pretty good.

Can any of you confirm that this is indeed a muzzle cover? Is there any place on it I should clean and look for markings?

I spent all of last week recovering a battlefield burial of a group of Japaneseicon soldiers....at least four differnt individuals.

Thanks!
