Looking to get any info or what this might be worth. These were brought back by a U.S. Vet, but have no further information. I was told the sight and panel are from a kamikaze Ohka/baka plane. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any photo available?

Hope you don't mind, I snagged your photos from the other forum to make it a little easier for people to get an idea of what you're talking about

Thank you, blinky !
To acxel1:
Both items look like they were came from MXY7 Ohka (桜花）, Allied code name
Baka (Foolish in Japanese).
I can see the iron sight (edge of photo 2, on the red line), gun/bomb sight at rear (first photo).
Here is an excellent wartime photo: With both gun sight and panel showing.
Will add translation, soon.
Best regards,

Inside the square (From right to left) basically prints:
Fix the iron sight on top of the panel center at height of 150.0mm (15cm).
Those are nice pieces, would love to preserve them.
I honestly don't know what they worth, sorry.
Thank you for sharing.
Best regards,

I'm with Taka, it's a great piece but hard to put a value on since it's not the sort of thing that turns up very often. I'd love to have it in my collection! I would be willing to bet you'll get a few private messages from members looking to buy it for you!
