Anybody out there who can provide images of tin cans and crates of Cuban, North Korean and Albanian ammunition packings? Any image with visible lot numbers will do.
 
I think I have a picture of a can and an F-1(Cuban). I will see if I still have it. I believe these ones were packed in Tomato cans on their way to Nicaraqua.

Are these the same items you are asking for Alex?
 
Mark, if there are visible lot numbers on yes. Cuban F-1 would be great of course.
By the way, are any images of the grenades available? In particular the markings are of interest here (grenade body and those on the fuze).

Basically any ammunition packing material containing lot numbers are of interest.
 
Ok, I will look for the article and pictures which shouldn't be much of a problem. These also had different fuzes. They all were marked with a number just above the detonator indicating what the actual timer of the fuze is. Some were marked "0" indicating no delay. A "8" had an 8 second fuze.
