    Show Me Your 88 Rounds!

    I thought I would start a thread to see who had 88 Rounds in there collection. So if you have one or even more, post your pictures of your 88 rounds here. I will start by showing off the two that I have. One is a flak round and the other is a Tiger round.

    Let's see the rounds!

    I once flew in a B-17, B-24, & a B-25. Next, I want to fire an 88 round.

                              Here is my Tiger round which came with the original wooden carrying case. The wood case has faint markings and painted yellow on both ends (very faint) indicating a high explosive round and interior paper tag..

                              The fuse is eagle M marked.
