    Smile 20mm WW2 Hispano ID help

    I recently obtained these 20mm Hispano cases, links and projectiles, the cases are all WW2 marked; RH 1943 x 2, K4 44 and H 1944. The three projectiles all show traces of red and yellow (mustard) paint with brass heads.
    On the single projectile picture, this is stamped RG on the brass head and has the following stamped into the main casing; TH II Z CE, 1/43. Am I correct in assuming that this is a H.E. Incendiary round?

    Does anyone have a picture of this projectile with the correct colours and markings?

    Thanks and best regards,
    Derek

    Thanks for the info TimG, I hope that someone can post a picture of a projectile with the paint intact, I would like to restore mine to their original state.

    Regards,

    Thanks, yes that is helpful and a good starting point, but I would still like to see what one looks like with the original colours.
