    Good evening everyone

    Hope everyone is doing well, I recently got my hands on a German WW2 8.8 AP round
    And i am not sure to what it belongs to, if it belongs to a particular flak or a tank.
    There are some slightly worn off marking on the bottom that I believe are:
    (A bxe / waffen proof stamp And a large 22).
    Tried to do some research on google but had no luck...
    Any help on identifying this round would be very much appreciated.

    Firstly, it's not head! (Head men wish for). This is a projectile even an AP Shell or more accurately an 8,8 cm Panzergranatpatrone 39 for the Kw.K. 36/ Flak 41 or a Panzergranatpatrone 39-1 for the Flak 41

    I am more interested in the Fuze, can we see a few better pictures of that please. Oh, and a ruler or scale is useful in the pictures as size can be deceptive, (are we still on the same subject Teck?).

    Will you stop hording random items of Ordnance in your desk mate! I am going to come round and clear it out once and for all or issue it a 1.1 licence!!

    Oh, and get a bloody ruler.
