    More difficult! Unknowed tin tank toy from '60s

    Hi guys...
    I found here great informations and great persons, who helped me to identify some figures, but I have another one, the last, unidentified toy.
    The history is very crazy!
    I onw this toy, a tin toy similar to a tank when I was little child in early '70s, received as a gift from my father but used (the previous owner was one of the child of my father employer) an I played with it for some years.
    When I reached the teenage years, my father gave the toys to his friend's little child. After a lot of years, after the 2K, I started my research about my old toys and started some collection of action-figures, from Big-Jims to Megos, GI Joes and many others but, also looking for this tin toy I owned.
    Very difficult to try to find a toy without name and producer until some weeks ago on Ebay. I found it in Italy using "years 60" like a search string, I saw the photos of the seller and I scream "FOUND ITTTTTTTT!!!"
    I won the bid against a New Zealand guy but the bigger surprise was when the toy arrived in my hands, I saw all the sides and than the back of the toy..."OH MY GOD...MY NAME, MY NAME!!!".
    When I was child, I usually engraved my name with a screwdriver on the back of my tin toys, and this one have my name...I thought this was mine toy and not other one!
    After that, as a good collector and a person with some years on the shoulders, I started to looking for some information about it but without success. The only thing is the MADE In JAPAN phrase on the back, no other one phrases or trademarks.
    I put here the photos for to help about the possible identify:



    Thanks!
