WW II German shell fragments

Lovely marking on the projectile. Looks like the 20mm was live until you wiggled it apart. That would have been nice to have live. The .50 case is Denver if you didn't know.

Hi Jim,

I didn't wiggle the 2cm round apart. That is the way that I found it. Perhaps someone else? There were bunches more just like it. I kept the one in the best shape. The projectile is one of hundreds that I un-earthed and it was found seperately of the casing. I even found several of the small 2cm fuses seperate of the round just laying around. Mike

Jim,

Is there a difference in markings on .50 and .30 cases ? All my WWII .30 are marked "DEN" for Denver. I was under the impression that DM would have been Dominican.

Thanks,

Emri

Emri, I believe DM is for Des Moines Ordnance in Des Moines, Iowa. Mike
