Hi All,
Picked this up today down in Bondi (just kidding!)- a NZ manufactured 3" HE round with about 80%+ original lacquer left.
Well marked and appears to perhaps been made by "GMNZ", which I'm guessing may stand for "General Motors New Zealand"?
Also has "DE" stamped above the "3" MOR", which I'm also assuming to indicated that it is perhaps "DEactivated", although not sure what would have been done as it looks like it was never filled. (Probably way of track here!)
There is another interesting "OLB III" stamp under the "3" MOR" - any ideas?
It is also very well dated:
Body: 4/44 and 7/44
Tail: 12/41
Gain: 11/43 (Made by "AMC"?)
Not sure what the letters in the circle are for???

Anyway as it's not a fuze it is in the trade /for sale bin.
Cheers
Drew
