This is an extremely rare Imperial Japanese Navy sugar shovel or spoon. The piece features the fouled anchor with chrysanthemum flower on the front of the handle below the shell pattern.
The silverplate sugar shovel measures 5 1/4 inches in length. The manufacturer name is on the back but, of course, it's in Japanese lettering. This pattern was probably used in the Senior Officer's Mess. Matching plates are available in my store.
This is not a souvenir piece. This sugar shovel is the actual silverplate used by the Japanese Navy. EXCELLENT condition!
Gorgeous piece of rare militaria so don's miss out. International buyers welcome. Just email for a shipping quote as the store is not set up for automatically determining shipping to other countries.
