Ok,this might not interest many of you,but,it pays to do two things while hunting the guns show,militaria shows,etc etc....
Dig in the boxes and piles that most sellers seem to have stashed under tables,""with permission of course"" and examine closely when you get stuff home.
I found this at the Iola military vehicle show this weekend in Wisconsin,under a pile of junk. A fired German squeeze bore projectile of unknown caliber.
I had originally bought a PC microscope for my father,to help him inspect coins,for his age has brought on poor eyesight. Low and behold,it works great for taking close up photos of very small stamped nomenclature.
With this computer microscope I was able to locate two distorted WaAs on the sleeve of this fired projectile.With a little more practice with lighting,it will get better.
