German goodies

Really nice collection Dave, obviously I can't get those items in states, so it is a real treat to be at least able to view them, on the flip side of that coin I can get some US ordnance that maybe you can't. Thanks a million for showing..Dano

Houp!
There is something very strange on your picture of 7.7 cm
You show us a fuze dopp Z 91 on a 7.7 cm but this fuze is no use on this shell
Sorry for that
