We used to find them in the impact area at Baumholder. I'd probably have to dig quite a bit to find them but if I remember correctly they are either German or French and the only version I ever saw was practice and they were painted blue with white markings.

If I can find more I will post it.

There you go.

Oh and Spotter, my compliments to any EOD guy still using a pack of cigarettes as a size reference. That is old school!

3.2 inch Heller

Went for a Sunday drive and picked these up. The scanner is broken, so hopefully these photos of the diagrams are clear enough for your use.

Heller Dummy

As obtained today --

Has dark blue over light blue, so started out as a practice round.

I will likely drop it into the classifieds shortly.

kept wondering why this round was stuck in the back of my mind, then as I was going through some old lesson plans when I taught ground ordnance at Indian Head I realized we taught it as a foreign rocket. That was in the mid 70's.

Here ... according to the museum ... is the Canadian Heller. Does anyone have the actual nomenclature for the item?

Length: 720-MM
