What is item 1-3?

I don't know the answer to either one. The first three I assume to be some sort of 40mm experimental, the Czech projo we will have to see what the members recognize.

I've been having some technical problems posting photos, but so far, so good. Still not sure what was wrong, so I'm not sure yet if it is fully fixed. We'll see how it goes.

The 105mm tank gun round is nice. The Europeans have a nose fuzed HE round, but I've never seen a U.S. one. It is interesting that they were trying the hemispherical base design with sintered iron rotating bands like the 90mm T-91.

Looks like you found more aircraft rocket photos. Do you know what the diameter of this one is?

The data card on it says 68mm, but it also calls it a 3-inch. Item is marked "Harvey Machine Co".

Well, I am totally drooling over that MECAR M697 TPFSDS-T projo.

A really wide spectrum of goodies in this group, from Vietnamese time pencils to HVAR fins to 3 inch field gun. Lots of interesting stuff.

There have been rumors for years about Japanese ordnance found in Vietnam during the war, but I've never seen any hard data or reference material on it....

This is the case for german 10,5cm LG40.

That is a strange cap on the Dopp Z S/60 v.

The AZ 23/28 is not an uncommon fuze, but I have never seen the stamp like this - is it unusual?

That is one rough looking grenade!

 

[US-Subs]

Yeah, I suspect a lot of it was how it was treated before making it to the museum. I've never seen a dust initiator before, ever seen a document?

The Dust intiator you picture is also called the M 19, there was a EODP on it a few years back. I've got some more data on it if you don't have the M19

It is stamped with a "U" = Unterricht = Instructional "class room" fuze. It think someone tried to "improve" some of the flat stamped letters with a chisel to make it better readable.
