    Pascal,

    Thanks for all that. Do you know if this is a repurposed 7.92 cartridge case or is it specific to the granatenwerfer?

    It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the
    neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

    Cartridge cases are 7x57 or 7,92x57 repurposed with hunting primers

    Thanks Pascal

    I was hoping that was it. I think I have a few of those laying around here.

    Yes. I'd found that early on in my search for info. Was the inspiration for the hole filler/fuze. A superb drawing that will be included with the display. I will be using a spent 7.92X57 shell to replicate the propelling charge but will keep looking for an original example. As well as a real fuze cap. Would love to get it completed with real/original components.
