    Found an English definition of 振止 fure-tome [foo-ray toe-may]
    “stopper; clamper; steady brace; steady strain”

      Thanks Guy!

      So given the classic IJN aotake finish and color, I feel pretty sure this is a piece off a navy aircraft. The seller claimed it is from a Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo plane and given the translation and finish I don't have any reason to doubt that claim at this point. i do not believe it "maybe from Pearl Harbor"...

      Thanks again
