The last.
It's the first time I see such a double color band yellow and red.
Fitted with a screwed tracer but no transmission hole so tracer could not initiate the filling (I don't know what is the filling for the moment).
I found in a french doc similar bands on Pzgr L'spur Ph (white phosphorus) or Pzgr L'spur O (inert filling, empty or weighted)
I will check on monday but markings (opposite sides) could be white "O" (Remnants of "P" ??).
"O" = Ohne Ladung, best translation to English: devoid of charge = no energetic components (other than the tracer). I do have doubts about the red band over the yellow one. This is a legit combination (have one in my collection), however the red band looks like it was added with a brush.
Would be VERY intersted in seeing good pictures of a plain yellow band "O" marked projectile.
Ok, I checked this morning, inert filling : 3 steel closing discs after the tracer. Then a ballast molded in a kind of compressed powder (color dirty white).
Nice! Do you think the off White colour is due to a chemical change, or could it be a coating (i.e. to prevent corrosion inside the projectiles cavity)?
