Dansk PyroForum

Hello to all,

I've a question about the meaning of the "star"-marking/stamp shown on the picture. It's an old "Kanonslag M/50"-cardboard wrapper.

I also found this "star" with a "K" in on a 20x110 Oerlikon cartridge case. Maybe the case was not used with a projectile but was used for a unknown (to me) pyrotechnic purpose?

I hope someone here can explain me the "star". Any help is welcome.

Best Regards
Defender (who collects ammunition, especially danish stuff)

Hello again,

Best Regards

Dear Defender,

it may sound stupid but have you tried to contact Ammunitionsarsenalet in Ålborg? If you are a legitimate collector they might help you?

Just a thought: The number in the star is the same as the first number in the "Ammunitionsparti (batch)" - could it be the make inventory easier?
