I thought i would share a little project I have been working on. Here is my kwk 40 pzgr 39 round. Now when I originally bought it, i knew from the dealer that someone had tried doing it up in the past, when it was delivered to me i had realized time had not been good to the restored pzgr 39 projectile so I decided to sand paper it down to bare paint, which exposed old filling the previous owner used to restore it. I then primed the pzgr 39 with red oxide (sorry no photos ) then sprayed it with a matt black coating. I also removed some light surface rust on the base so that i could read the markings much better . This shell has the smallest swastika i have ever seen on an item before in the waffenamt stamp.
Enjoy the photos, i will add a follow group of photos when the stencils I ordered arrive!
