[Milsurplus] WWII Japanese Radiosonde

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

?The decimal point did indeed move,but to the right! In general,Japanese WWII artifacts command a high price due to the fact there is little of it remaining and Japanese collectors are willing to pay? large sums since even less seems to have survived in Japan. 
?Bill Howard had quite a collection and I hope it is well taken care of since he put a significant part of his life into establishing his museum.He was kind enough to help me out a few times with my meager collection.
