what kind of metal is this?

well it could just be an ordinary metal no argument on that but if this has some sort of HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE then it might be worth a TREASURE

[cromagnon]

so buyer of might sell to an international museum . perhaps on a higher price..

cus it does look like a normal metal..

AISI 1038 is a Standard grade Carbon Steel. It is composed of (in weight percentage) 0.35-0.42% Carbon (C), 0.60-0.90% Manganese (Mn), 0.04%(max) Phosphorus (P), 0.05%(max) Sulfur (S), and the base metal Iron (Fe). Other designations of AISI 1038 carbon steel include UNS G10380 and AISI 1038.


teel is the common name for a large family of iron alloys. Steels can either be cast directly to shape, or into ingots which are reheated and hot worked into a wrought shape by forging, extrusion, rolling, or other processes. Wrought steels are the most common engineering material used, and come in a variety of forms with different finishes and properties. Carbon steels alloying elements do not exceed these limits: 1% carbon, 0.6% copper, 1.65% manganese, 0.4% phosphorus, 0.6% silicon, and 0.05% sulfur.
The typical elastic modulus of carbon steels at room temperature (25°C) ranges from 190 to 210 GPa. The typical density of carbon steels is about 7.85 g/cm3. The typical tensile strength varies between 276 and 1882 MPa. The wide range of ultimate tensile strength is largely due to different heat treatment conditions.

not sure but this is what i found..

P01038
The SPW 251/9 "Stummel" (Stump) was an SPW 251 halftrack fitted with a low-velocity 75mm cannon. It was used primarily for infantry support in the heavy companies of halftrack-equipped panzergrenadier formations. This unit also represents the similar but smaller SPW 250/8, which was used in halftrack-equipped (SS-) panzer recon companies.

ARMAMENT
1 x 75mm L/24 cannon
1 or 2 x 7.92mm machineguns

MAX. ARMOR
14.5mm

WEIGHT
8.5 tonnes

did germans brought tracks to mindanao during ww2??

asa man ka kuha ani majinboo? hehe
bacin part ni a UFO na crash didto sa Rosswell...or bacin sa skylab ni sa una....

if gikan sad ni sa germany it will only prove that hitler supported japanese to conquer his father's homeland...

according to the owner, the offer was in Japanese yen which is equivalent to 100k Php. more over, the buyer is looking for another 2 pieces.

Therefore there are 4 of these and my friend got two pieces.

It's funny that people almost automatically assume that the value attached to the object is because it's made of some precious metal.

If that piece of metal was just ordinary iron, but belonged to a World War II era Japanese frigate/destroyer that got sunk in the seas around the Visayas, then a descendant of one of the sailors (maybe even captain) of one of those ships, would pay a lot of money (esp. if that person was rich) for ANY fragment of his father/grandfather's ship, as a memento.

What is considered to be of value differs to each person.

Wala may anything about "ilad" sa akong gi post. I'm just stating that, what appears to be useless to someone might be valuable to another person--it all depends on how we see the concept of value.
