Wgr 38

Here's another one. The body has been repainted sometime during its life and there are some bits missing from the detonator. Assuming they were authentically reproduced, can someone tell me what the black markings on the body indicate. They are 5 lt 17.8.42 v TP / IV / Ad 1.8.42 L.

Thanks in advance,

Tony.

I just picked up an early round a couple of weeks ago and it is missing both the bakelite fuze and the adapter piece it screws into. Can anyone help me locate one? Or another round that is complete? please reply to: ssshoop@hotmail.com as I don't check here often.
Thanks

Now I am not a WWII guy but I know what I like and that is one sweet piece of ordnance. The classic mortar shape, the markings. Really nice....Dano
