Is'nt that what a newbee does? Well.............
Just this weekend I found two complete 20 x 138B 'Long Solothurn' FlaK empty brass (struck primers) BUT the projectiles???? Im not sure silver fuse seems crimped in by a single round punch / divot and although I did not try Im sure the fuses will not unscrew, HE yellow (95%) body with red above driving band ring for tracer, with red writing on body of shell/ projectile. Both projectiles are easily removed from the empty shell casings and one still has a plug with X over the tracer hole!!!! What do you think? LIVE!?!?!?! Dewat souvenir? HELP! They are in the floor on there sides out of the way and where the cat cant get at them but Im afraid!
Thanks
John
PS: I do have more, like a 10inch 1860s (empty) naval shell 86lbs; plus many many more in US ordance, soooooo... I will be around!!!!!
