[Der_Feldgraue]

Here my latest restoration project, which is almost finished. A restored relic (and inert) german 10,5 cm Feldhaubitzschrapnell 16. The tough part begins now: Finding a good "HZ 05 Schrapnell" fuze; I have only a relic one. :tinysmile_cry_t3:

Thanks Doug! Its just overpainted; the ground preserved it very well.

 

[18pounder]

have you got any images on BOCN of all your relics?

love to see them all together!

regards

 

[Der_Feldgraue]

Sorry, no. I will post some pics in the near future. The 10,5 exists out of three parts, which were found at three different places

great job

Beautiful shell Jens. Did the HZ 05 sit atop most of the 10.5's? Dano

 

[Der_Feldgraue]

Thanks!

@dano: The HZ 05 Schr. was used on 10,5 shrapnel shells. The HE used the HZ 05 Gr., HZ 14 or HZ 16 mostly.
