Good evening,
Here is a picture of an ammunition shell found recently on the crash site of a german's fighter in the south of France. Does anybody can identify the gun's type that was using this munition ? Thanks in advance. Vince |

Re: Ammunition relic identification
Too few pictures or at least dimensions. I guess it's 20x82 with electric primer from MG 151/20 cannon. www.municion.org/20mm/20x82Electric.htm

Re: Ammunition relic identification
Vince,
auj - is the manufacturer: Polte Armaturen und Maschinenfabrik A.G., Werk Grüneberg (Nordbahn), Schlesien 42 is the year of production: 1942 The remaining two marks would be the production batch and steel mill code. The latter two would require further confirmation. Regards, Sinisa |

Two possibilities MG 151/15 or MG 151/20. We should see the complete shell.

Re: Ammunition relic identification
Hi all,
Thanks you for your responses. Here are some new pictures that should help identifying the exact type of munition (MG151/15 or 20). The plane it is coming from should be a FW190 but i don't know exactly what version. is it possible that it is an MG FF munition shell ? Rgds ![]() ![]() |
