My streak of good luck in finding excellent German WWII ordnance in the US continues with this addition to the collection. If you ever wondered if they would fit a US M3 gun, then the answer is, "Yes, they fit very well." Since I reload and shoot with this gun, I am now inspired to make a replica projectile and try firing it with a blank charge. Probably make it all out of PVC - no explosive charge.
The collector who had it said it was imported from Germany before 9/11. I am rather surprised by the crude construction - for a German item - and the lack of markings. The only markings are "OC" stamped on the nose cone and again on the warhead body.
The nose fuse is not correct. Does anyone have an AZ 5075 to spare?
Thanks,
Steve
