German 3 fin Granatenwerfer projectile

Hi all, I have a WWI German granatenwerfer projectile on the way that is a relic with the fins rusted away. As I have a 4 fin projectile I want to restore this one to a 3 fin unit. Could someone please provide close ups of tail section of 3 fin Granatenwerfer projectile that I can reference from. It would be greatly appreciated...Dano

3 fin Granatenwerfer

Well, the relic Granatenwerfer projectile arrived with fins rusted away. I did this one in 3 fin as I already had 4 fin, and kind of threw it together to keep in the relic catagory

Hi Tony, Nope same length it is just the cam angle and hanging difference. I'm out of olive drab paint at the moment so i'm not done. I may also re mount it so it could be well hung. Thanks for the deal Tony, that peckerwood seemed like you sent it in the 70's as it took a while to get here! All BS aside a heartfelt thankyou is what i'm thinking as this one along with the 1915 igniters you sent are a treasured addition to my colection, Will mail off your next package on 8th or 9th of November,by the way where were they found????..Dano
