Snoopy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 HelloI 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.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wolfe Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 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. M M D 356 5 / 41Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
