Basing my info on EOD documents, not perfect, but the best I have to go on. Two projectiles, a 130mm and a 122mm. Both have a typical Soviet ejection type base, with the off-set holes on the plate.
The 130mm appears to be an illumination, but it has two white bands rather than one, and the bands are above the bourrelet. Both counter to me information. The 122mm is painted entirely red, original paint. There is a slight remnant of the 122 from the painted markings, nothing else. The rotating band is also not typical, with light knurling at the top of the band. The only reference I have for the body to be entirely red is for the 82mm mortar as a propaganda projectile. My first thought was that it may be from a satellite country, but there appears to be some light stamps that may be Cyrillic.
Can anyone steer me straight on these two?
