BOCN Guess what it is

Yoda, no, it is located in the engineer section. The system it is used with usually escapes the "VIP" status amongst ammunition interetsed people.

SMLE, how can it be a Eihandgranate 39 fuze now?

The fuze to be IDd here is West-German, no relation to the GDR. The GDR also never manufactured this fuze design (just used some Czechoslovak knock offs with certain imported ammunition). I have no reference for the use of the Eihandgranate 39 in the GDR.

Hi EOD

Thanks for putting us out of our misery! Any chance of some further additional information regarding this charge, as it is a total new one to most of us.

Cheers

Well, it only took 9 days to get an answer! I'm thinking a 3 day maximum before an item is revealed. People lose interest if they can't get any hints and can't see enough of an item in an edited photo. The items are supposed to be recognizeable by a number of members, not something in a locked box on the back shelf of an EOD center behind a chainlink fence on a military base that isn't on a map. No one will ever encounter this item in their daily routines.
 
ok ill kick start this again
hint with a bit of looking on site you will find something related to this posted recently,

Hazord, nothing I put up here was taken from EOD collections, nor from experimental or secret boxes or the like. Actually I see no difference to any other ammunition item we had here before. In this thread I have seen worse postings like "round plates" and "cylinders" and rusty bolts in dark holes which would qualify for critics much earlier. The igniter shown above was easily to be found on German ranges, nothing special at all, just out of service by now.
To my opinion this thread here lives from "new discoveries" everbody can make for himself. I agree that there needs to be certain rules here as for "what if no ID is proposed" or even a "vote" where when like 3 members after at least like 3 days without new posting say "reveal ID" the poster has to declare the item. Allan my adjust the system as people may propose.

But no problem, we can keep on guessing on Mills No36 internal parts and thelike and get answers in 10 minutes.
 
either a L10A1 BAT drill round or a L1A1 50 cal drill round(both have the top portion of the case un chromed) ?
