Re: Battle of Britain Dornier 7.92 bullet markings

Hi
For German's ammos in 7.9
s* is for brass case
St+ is for steel case
P25/163 etc ...is code for the fabrik .

P154 = Polte Werke, werk grunberg
s* = brass case
3 = March
39 = 1939


P120 = Dynamit AG Hannover Empelde
s* = brass case

Types of ammos are see by the color of the ring toward primer ...
and colors on the bullet

Green ring = ordinary heavy ball
Bleu ring = light armour piercing
Red ring = Armour piercing
Black ring is for Incendiary (warning phosphor)
and explosives too ( warning !!!)

Black tip on bullet is fot Tracer ammos, black bottom bullet for Explosives
Green band in middle bullet is for verbessert ammos, especially for MG 17 .

Silver tip is the first type of explosive !
