I've encountered a photo of an apparently standard German Bakelite cap for M50x3 fuze socket, found on an early post war Soviet dump of captured German ammunition.
It carries a typical German Material Pruefmark with maker code 40 (Isolawerke AG, Birkesdorf) and material code S (Bakelite with timber dust).
But what surprises me, is an additional marking above it, looking like Cyrillic letters GSh.
Could it be a piece produced in Germany shortly after the war under Soviet supervision? Or the supposed Russian "GSh" is purely German and has a completely different meanng? :tinysmile_cry_t4:
Kind regards
Grzesio
