It is for a V2 (as said) or for a french ww2 FATO shell (ballistic cap) ????

Hello

I see this item sold on internet here :

WW2 German V2 Rocket Nose Fuze Cone V2- Gunstar

WW2 German V2 Rocket Nose Fuze Cone V2 for sale in Portsmouth, Hampshire, South East

www.gunstar.co.uk

as WW2 German V2 Rocket Nose Fuze Cone V2


But for me, it could be the ballistic cap for the french ww2 artillery shell (FATO).

Have you an idea ?

Thank you

It's French 155 mm Ballistic cap .

I reported it as being incorrect and likely from a French 155 mm artillery projectile. Probably from a Fonte Aciérée et Fausse Ogive (F.A.T.O.) modèle 1918 projectile.

Definitely cap for 155 indeed. What a bargain

If this is from the old EODIC Museum at DEODS Chattenden it is indeed a V2 fused as uts boxed with its instructions!

Ok got the pics mixed up, the IWM is definitely the V2 fuse from DEODS...no use on the auction one!
