Casing ID

[zwerge]

It looks like a 7.62x39 grenade blank , the crimp has blown out and extended the length.....

If the length can be extended from that sort of round I would be inclined to agree with you. Thats a huge bottle neck casing.

So...blank round...post WWII...

Anyway...Thanks all of u...

Tomorrow, I think...I will take out this casing from vinegar solution..., so...let's see the 'mighty' headstamp...!

Here is a piece of shrapnel cleaned in that solution...

I found many pieces of shrapnel in the same zone...several of them have the same 'stamp pattern' (on the flat side...)...any idea about this ?

Thank you .

In order to make the blank the case was extended past 39mm and then crimped.....
