I just got these two shells. one is Russian the other german. can anyone tell me what they are. I think the german one is an aircraft shell. the Russian one looks like it has little traces of blue paint maybe?
thanks
TrevorK,
A quick answer-
#1 is most likely a German 20x80mm Oerlikon aircraft MG case, “wg” = Hugo Schneider AG, Altenburg plant, 41 = 1941
#2 is probably a primer for bag loaded artillery, for example a 155mm gun. Probably made in 1942. Russian?
Got to go!

In Russia these would be for weapons from 152mm and larger.
thanks for the info guys!
