[jeff w]

Does anyone doubt that this is a fake/reproduction? It was advertised as authentic. I am not an expert.

To me it looks a pure fake.

Is the core tungsten? Why is there a step in the taper of the ogive?

[RichardB]

I agree, the core might not be fake, the rest definitely is

So, regarding the core, is it 21mm dia?, all 5cm Pzgr40 and Pzgr40/1 cores I think are 21mm.
....and of course is it Tungsten.

Yes, write "Secret" on an item and shoot it at the enemy :-)

No measurements were posted with it - just the pics.

I am with the others on this one, its a fake, amounst other things the font is all wrong for the stamps.
Best regards Weasel.

Thanks all.
The seller is also advertising this as genuine 5cm German - not familiar with these but am pretty certain it is also incorrect;

Hello Jeff. Your round does not look anything like the verified real one that I have. The nose should be Bakelite with an aluminum tip.
