Help Identifying Japanese Ordnance

I'm sure someone here on the forum will know what this is - I sure as hell don't

Could it be the fuse cone of an anti-aircraft shell? Just a wild guess.

At least the item will not explode as it says "This item requires to be recovered"

Thanks, everyone, for your help. I guess the vet was planning some kind of trench art with this and some other artillery shells that he brought back. He was in the 1st Cavalry in WW2. Don't know where all he served, but I did see a photo in the estate with him posing with a Tommy Gun, and back of the pic said "Manilla".
