I have just one question as far as marking of 3 cm M-Geschosse is concerned.
Were the 3 cm M-Gesch. without a tracer, as 3 cm M-Gesch. o. Zerl. or 3 cm M-Gesch. m. Zerl. marked with a black letter M except of being painted yellow or not? L.Dv. 4000 shows all of them without the M marking, while ogival 3 cm M-Gesch. with tracers are marked with the letter M, as e.g. all M-Gescghosse of the 2 cm calibre. So were these blunt nosed 3 cm shells without tracers void of the letter M indeed? And what about the 3 cm M-Brgr. m. Zerl. - did it have any M-Geschoss marking or was just yellow as in my drawing?
