Hello Joseph,

86 = code number of HE charge
10.43 = month and year of filling
FES = sintered iron driving bands
A = mark of the type of steel
cyw = manufacterer code of the shell body
5 = lot number

Grtz,
greif

Greif - May I request that you show a close up photo for your projectile from the side? There are precious few photos of these projectiles on the web.

Thank you.
