    I had seen them on 7,92 cases but never on 2cm ones. I don't like them, but just my opinion.

      First one looks like somebody has grinded original markings away first and then added new ones.Whole base is worn looking and smooth edged.

      Second one have only ink marking.

      I have 2cm Flak 2 book/bible from J.B.H Anderhub and there is nothing about any SS marked rounds within 2000pages.

      As Carles said,there is 7.92 cases but i have also seen Stielgranate sticks lifted from Lappland lakes marked with SS marking...so why not 2cm flak also?

          I think you are saying that those flare cartridges are fake...is it so? I doubt the two flak cases are reall SS just because they don't look good. That doesn't mean there might not be some real one out there, but I haven't seens any.
