Hi,
I’ve been working on restoring an 8.8cm Sprgr and I’m about paint it (RAL 1005 Honiggelb) and stencil it with an off the shelf stencil set from Milcorem. A couple of questions:
- Would an explosive code of 13 be better than 14 for a 1944 dated shell? I’ve read that 14 is an early war code for pure TNT.
- Would the FES marking be black or white on a yellow shell?
I know the 90 on the top date code is wrong, but I’ll just turn it upside down to make 06.
Thanks,
Mark
