    Technically this is a fog horn used on small boats (like fishing boats). It's a European design but was copied by the Japanese, I have a couple Japanese examples. Even though they were designed to be a fog horn on a boat one of the examples I have was used by a Japanese civil defense team during the war.

        I wouldn't say it's BS, it's just impossible to prove.
        I guess it wouldn't surprise me if someone picked one of these up on a battlefield.....they are very loud.....but, as they always say: buy the item and not the story.

            The seller implies the vet told him this directly so he should be able to provide you with the vet's name, unit etc. if the banzai story has any credibility. At least you can find out where it was found. Personally, I'm suspicious of any of these alleged "vet" stories that don't provide any real details.
