german navy marked 5cm

[munfrosch]

Id a for me unknown variant of a 5cm shell. Maybe from 5cm Flak but ONLY navy markings on it! Smaller and shorter tracer plug and no WaA eagles like normal. Did the german navy also have such trials?

Markings: bvu 41, 2 very big navy eagles M II/10 and one normal/small navy eagle

any ideas?

in comparison with a 5cm AA shell

An acceptancde stamp of one service does not mean it was used there.

 

[munfrosch]

yes i know but all pics from 5cm aa shells wich id seen have waa eagles. ok this shell is a little bit different, lets see

 

[EOD]

The acceptanc stamps are bound to each inspector. To which service he belonged to did not matter at all. All inspectors were movable amongst factories if needed. That includes replacement of other inspectors on sick leave or leave for any other reason.
So all service markings can be found on any ammunition as it did not matter.

Yes this is correct have seen several projectiles

Its claer but my question is not the stamps i hope anybody can id it. or nobody seen it before?

 

[EOD]

You asked if the Navy also used this projectile. Answer: no!

 

[munfrosch]

It was only a thought if the navy had sucht trials to ;-) And any id from this shell would be help.

Some people mean it is an 5cm MK 214 trial other say from 5cm Flak 41, thats wy I try to find out more.

Those "meaning" certainly can provide documentation then.
