[waffenamt]

Im very happy with some items i bought from my main man Bernhard this week
Included in the deal was this steel case.
German Kwk 7.5cm.

Even better news is that ive located a projectile from a very good pal of mine,so i can complete the round.

Very nice looking case Waff. I noticed that this one didn't hang around long in the Classified section.

On the left, the headstamp mark should be the manufactures stamp.

What type of projectile have you found? Not that I'm jealous but I have had an empty KwK case for about 2 years :sad:.

Cheers for the stamp info.
