Hi John, the "German" badge with Swastika is actually a British National War Savings Committee badge from WW1.
Cheers, Ade.

Excellent haul for 2 hours John
Good old fragile 303's.........bloody things fall to bits as soon as look at 'em half the time ! Only ones I've ground dug that I could rely on to not break apart are sand dug ones. Did you manage to get a headstamp off any of them ?
The base plug may clean up well enough to get a date off it. Be interesting to see
Where were you digging by the way (not the location but the 'type') ? Old gunnery range, airfield or barracks site ?
Cheers

Hi Steve,
I havn't cleaned any of the .303's but there all dated 1940's
i will clean the plug off for you in a min
My guess is that it was a encampment for the troops waiting for D-Day. Its the same place i found the tommy helmet.
