Aircraft ammunition

[Snoopy]

Hello

I don't have a lot of ammunition in my collection, but I have these two. They where found in the wreckage of a german fighter, in Norway. The one on the right has an explosive projectile. Both are 20 mm. Both are deactivated. They are both manufactured by Poltewerk-Magdeburg, in 1941.

That is something we do not see often. Any details on the wreck?

Hi Paul

I didn't find them myself, but I was told that it was from the wreckage of a Focke Wulf Fw 190.

Hi Snoopy,

Thanks for showing the 20mm shell. Here is one from my collection tht was given to me by a Canadian Airman many years ago. The casing is from a fired round and the round itself was put on later they are British. They are both dated 1941. The round is marked with these markings.
