    WW2 Japanese Shells and Cap

    I visited my Grandfather who served in the Aleutians during WW2 and he showed me a box with some Japanese shells and cap in it that he collected on Kiska. He asked me if I could help identify them and possibly determine the value of them.

    There are two fairly beat upon shells that look like 20mm cannon shells, one slightly larger shell with a red band on it as well as this one -

    Which goes together and slips into a cardboard tube.

    I have no idea what the cap is.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    The cap is the donald duck type ,missing the tally. Condition looks bad from what I can see. Maybe it can be repaired?

          The first shell is a Navy 25mm round, Explosive Tracer for the Type 96 Anti-aircraft gun.

          The second is a Navy Type 99 aircraft machine gun shell, either practice or tracer.

          The third is an Army Type 100 Self-destruct Explosive Tracer for the Type 98
          Anti-aircraft gun.

                      Thank you all very much for the information! I will pass it on to my grandfather.

                      Is there any way to possibly trace the owner of the cap and find out what happened to him?
