The box in pic 5 is a B.166 for 3" Mortar rounds

That might mean pic 2 is an end cap from a tube for mortar rounds

Do you know which units were in the area you were digging?

[Mariusz Loslau]

Hi,
Ane one more thing; who knows what means "TYPE I" stamp on this case, and where this case was made?

Regards.

 

[Falcon]

I have a case exactly like that, with very similar stampings, and the same maker's mark. I would also like to know where it was made. The cases seem to have survived years in the ground very well.

 

[Mariusz Loslau]

Hi,
And another one, this time without "TYPE I" stamp... what that means?

Regards.

 

[Mariusz Loslau]

Hi,
I renew question; what means "TYPE I" stamp on US 105mm M14 cases?
I clean 4 cases for this time, but only one have this stamp.

Very interest for me are also;
-Stamps on primer.
-Where case was made.

Any ideas?
