I posted some photos at a Face Book ordnance collectors site (Grenades & Ordnance of the 20[SUP]th[/SUP] Century) of a FLAK 38/39 APCBC HE shell and the self renowned experts have come out of the woodwork to denounce it. I have read that: “the projectile isn’t real” “the waffenamt code is for a maker of leather goods” “the eagles below the driving band are unheard of and the single driving band isn’t normal” “whats the point of an AP FLAK round” “the waffenamts were only put on to add value” etc, do I need to go on? I know Im not an expert, I know nothing about WA codes but this looks good and to make up a projectile as complicated and detailed as this, age it, would have to be prohibitively expensive for such a limited market item. So I am hoping somebody can help me out with some ammunition to defend myself and maybe even educate all involved with. Thankyou for your consideration. More photos are available if required.
