1943 German 20mm HET round set

[Jb4046]

I Picked this up for a pretty good price the other day. Its a unfired (deactivated) ww2 german 20mm high explosive tracer round as used on the flak 30/38. Its cartridge case is made of lacquered steel. It also came with a cloth charge bag dated October 1943

The shell case states that it was made in 1943 . Out of the batch it was 493rd made
. The usual waffenamt inspection stamp . The shell its self along with the projectile and fuze were all made at Hugo Schneider A.-G., Werk Leipzig, Germany 1
wb


There is traces of red paint aournd the projectile and inside of the manufacturer and date stamps . This also shows that it was a tracer round

Both projectile and fuze were made in 1943
