Hi Varjag,

Taifun anti-aircraft rocket?
regards Robb

Full marks for trying Robb - but no. It is not an AA-weapon...rather on the 'terror'-side of things ,Varjag

[Robb]

My next try was going to be a Peenemünde arrow shell! But "terror" mmm, may have to think some more!
regards Robb

[varjag]

Peenemünde arrow shell

That - is getting closer....it is an artillery shell of a very special type

[varjag]

....a very long shell - requires a very long barrel, this was the longest..... , Varjag

Röchling Shell aka "Tausend Fussler" V-3 Projectile..?

Röchling Shell aka "Tausend Fussler" V-3 Projectile..?


waleed

Absolutely Waleed. It's a 15Cm-shell for the multi-chambered 'Hochdruckpumpe' (Highpressurepump) gun. Your question, Varjag

Thanks Varjag!
I feel sorry for Robb after doing all the work I come along and steal it all...

Next is a bit more from my rusty collection. What are they...?

RUSTY - is the operative word! Would they be bayonet attachments??????????

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Yes rusty and a close call - but no go!
Rusty to a point of non-functional but still recognisable...

A little help: They're shown up-side-down and they're early models too.

Aren't these metal flip-up muzzle covers

[kradman]

Yes they are K98 muzzle covers

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Correct!

An open and closed early model K98 metal flip-up muzzle covers.
Both and a few more in worse condition found a few kilometres from
where I live.

All yours pzrwest!

Hi Waleed,

Hope your well! Looks like the device that the "Dambusters" used to ecide when to realise their bomb.
