Tony Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Can anyone tell me what this was when whole? The base is marked RWS, 5cm and 39. Is it a German 5cm round from 1939 or Belgian or French or British.ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gregory Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Tony,Since RWS is a German manufacturer, I'd guess it is the tail fin of a German 5 cm mortar round (which it resembles in any case).David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for the confirmation David. I've had it for years and today was the first time I looked at the base. It came from Ypres.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
