ack-ack Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Check the detonator a bit closer, looks like it may have the trace of an arabic type symbol at the 11 oclock position. If this is the case then its german issue and been reloaded by the Turks. Its been cut down quite a bit as well judging by the last pic, originally it would have been about 2 ft long Edited January 4, 2012 by ack-ack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 German Howitzer shell at a guess. Magdeburg was/is an industrial town in Germany. Are you going to polish it or let it retain a natural colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
