Nice bullets, for someone who doesn't collect ordnance you're doing a fine job of stumbling across them.I am not an ordnance collector but stumble across items now and then. Is the small round in front a U-boat round? I read the FAQ's but could not find a size limit on photos so I made this one rather small to fit.. less than 150k..

Your projectile is the WWII style, not the short WWI version. Have you tried googling U-boat to review the different models and which ones mounted an 8.8cm gun?
Yes, thanks as other forum members have informed me of that too. While the round is not perfect it does have M inspection stamps on the shell. The base is corroded in the stamp area and it may not be M stamped... Wa instead but it is too hard for me to tell. While that does not prove anything it at least demonstrates that a portion of it was Navy marked and that helps. Thank you and all for the assistance. If anyone else would like to see pics or provide information I would appreciate it.Not to forget that this caliber was not a soleyly used with submarines.
