Jeff,

Are you sure the round is 50mm in diameter? Could it be 60mm? The shape of the body and general size of the fuze threads sure look like a U.S. 60mm.

I realize the fins don't look right for an American round but they did experiment with a fin like this during the war. Any markings at all on the body or tail assembly? Thanks for any more information you can add.

Hi Rick - Good catch. I mistakenly measured the fuse opening at 50mm. The actual with diameter is 60mm. Thanks

I cannot see any markings on it. I obtained it at a German flea market, so assumed it was German. Poor assumption I know.
