Hello,

Apologies if this is placed in the wrong section.
I'm trying to find a post which a member (from USA I believe) placed a few years ago in which they posted a superb image of a variety of German 7.7cm shells they had in their collection and which were listed according to date and type.
Some with original paint, some repainted (if I recall).
Was a great reference for styles and colours, hence the request. Have searched the site for the past hour to no avail...
Many thanks in advance!
 
I was after a German WW1 7.7 shrapnel which i believe was called the Wizbang by the British in the trenches during WW1, correct me if i am wrong. Wanted an example of what our boys had to put up with with the shelling the endured.
Saw a mint one on Egun a few years ago in its original blue, with the smoke marks on it around the rifling when they just been fired. God know why i didn't buy it but there you go. It was that nice i saved some pictures of it, have to dig them out
 
Many thanks M8owner, that's the one!
Much appreciated.

BMG50: Would be interested in seeing the pics if you find them....
Thanks again all.
Cheers!
