gr. Zdlg. C/98 Nitropenta

[Grenademan2005]

For what were used these charges?

Hi Grenademan,
What you have there is a artillery shell booster to fit a in the gaine for use in a variety of WW2 German rounds. All empty and inert i hope,
Best regards Weasel.

Inert for sure, I understand your words as I know this type of items are very dangerous for inert and most of them are thrown away. Were they used for 8,8cm rounds? And for 7,5cm?

 

[Grenademan2005]

I have been offered all this. I need your advice about buy it or not because asking price is not cheap, so I would need to know if they are desirable items, how much would you pay for a set, etc. Send me a PM if you want. Thank you. Everything inert, of course.

I had in the past a collection of several different bakelite and metal storage tins ( empty ) and when selling them away found it quite difficult. They sell around 10-15 Euros each.
However the inert booster charges may sell better to ordnance collectors as they are not often available. But if they all are the same type you have a long project to get rid of them all.

 

[Grenademan2005]

Yes, the C/98 are all the same type. Were these charges used also for the 8,8 Flak and 7,5 PAK shells?

 

[Tmine35]

Yes, C/98 was used in various different 7,5 cm HE-shells - including Pak 40. Also in 8,8cm HE-shells.
Further there were several different variations of C/98 but all of the same size and thus interchangeable for each purpose; with delay, without delay etc.

I could sell each complet tin for 60 euro, what do you think? Complet boxes are not seen every day.

 

[Grenademan2005]

No more opinions?

Sounds reasonable to me but I know by experience that buyers are not many - why not try at SpecialistAuctions?

 

[Grenademan2005]

The problem is that buying price is not cheap, so the investment is high... for this Id like to see if they are good items for resell or not. I also believe they are nice items for artillery collectors and well priced, but I have no more answers than from you, maybe not the right section?

I agree with T-mine price sounds reasonable to me.

Unfortunately not the ones I'm after....:tinysmile_cry_t:

I'm looking for the klZdlg34 (empty of course) - there must be some out there!!!

regards Kev

 

[Grenademan2005]

No Artillery collectors in this forum? :tinysmile_cry_t2:

 

[Tmine35]

Miguel, you share my experience from auctions in the past.

 

[Grenademan2005]

Yes, but this is not a WWII grenade, have you ever seen me asking about how sell a WWII grenade? It is just I cant understand why no more members write their opinions here, whats the problem? I dont know. :dontknow:

 

[Endel]

I have some options, but as we have talked about this, my problem is the price and the postage.


This charges used also for the W.K. Sprengs
