Hi all,
I'm sure this has been covered before on this site (but I've yet to find it), but can anyone here enlighten me as to whether German 17cm Minenwerfer projectiles ever had Lead driving bands?
As I understand it the norm was Zinc Alloy or Brass?
Only ever owned one of these and it had a (badly corroded) Zinc band.
Many thanks in advance!
