...the threads alway seem fine, I would've thought that with the charge blowing the shrapnel and thus the fuze out, the threads would have been destroyed...
As things have progressed, picture taking wise, here are some closeups of the Hemplatte. Along with some stampings on the body of the projectile. Some paint remnants are visible. This particular projectile was dustier and rustier than the rest. Using RemOil and a brass brush to clean things up. Will hit everything with a bench grinder wire brush and Brasso when time permits. I prefer shiny.
