Last NVBMB meeting I've acquired a 14,5mm spotter, red nose with L* stamped in the lead, headstamp "14,5x51 DAG", the case stencelling unfortunately faded. I've disassembled the cartridge and found out that the projectile has a thick, turned brass tracer cup in the rear and a smoke charge in front of that. There is no intern fuze whatsoever. Does anybody know how the smoke charge is activated? The tracer mixture is in the separate brass cup and so unable to ignite the smoke charge.

Thijs.
