88 mm Flak 18 Drill round

[Andy Naude]

New addition to the Drill round collection. 88 mm Flak 18 Drill.

Case dated 1942 and the Drill fuze dated 1944.

Would love to source a primer for this round if there are any floating around.

Hello,

Would love to source a primer for this round if there are any floating around.

The round seems to be of the Zuenderstellpatrone type, as opposed to the Ladepatrone presented by MINENAZ16. I.e. it was intended for training fuse setting - so maybe it had just no primer?

The body seems to be a type of rubber.

The body seems to be a type of rubber.

It may not be clear on the photos, but the rubber covering the body appears to have been lathe turned to the final profile.

It is a post war production from Norway or Finland made with German WW2 components. Quite a few were offered for sale about 15 years ago.
