Painting of German shells and mines
Painting Painting of shells and mines has two purposes, protecting the shell of the projectile from corrosion and providing easily perceptible information about the type, purpose and effect of the ammunition. Fuses with a plastic body and an iron shell are painted to protect the glasses from corrosion, and are also painted to protect them from corrosion.
Coloring of German mines, shells and fuses:
Painted in dark green protective color:
a) all primary and special-purpose ground artillery shells, except for all armor-piercing and propaganda shells and two types of 37-mm fragmentation tracer grenades intended only for ground fire.
b)
all mines with steel shell
c) fuses with a plastic body covered with a thin iron shell.
All armor-piercing shells, of all calibers, systems and devices, are painted black.
All fragmentation ammunition of anti-aircraft and aviation artillery is painted yellow, except for 37-mm fragmentation tracer grenades intended for ground firing from anti-aircraft guns; such shells are painted in a dark green protective color.
Painted red:
a) all mines with a shell made of steel or ductile iron;
b) Propaganda shells, the head of which is painted white.
Observed changes
If you take a sample of ammunition manufactured in the Soviet Union and a modern cartridge, you will notice that they differ even in cases where there is only one manufacturer. This is due to the fact that the adopted internal designation is not always clear to buyers abroad, such as Americans. Often changes lead to the fact that it becomes difficult to classify ammunition. For example, marking hunting cartridges of 5.6 caliber with one Latin letter V (denotes “East”) is quite problematic. But it is used for training, and also in sports. Due to its low price, it has become quite widespread. And this is where additional elements come to the rescue. So, if there are belts, then the more of them, the better the quality of the ammunition. And it is more intended for use in small game hunting. If they are not there, then its main purpose is sports shooting and training. Although changes are not always visible. So, if there is an inscription in English, then this is probably an export batch. Although it is not difficult to find “fresh” ammunition with a designation in Cyrillic.
What other antiquities can be mentioned?
In our conditions, we cannot ignore Mauser cartridges. Markings for standard 6.5x55 samples are not much different from those used at that time. Namely, a non-segmented arrangement of marks. Usually four elements were used, although bullets with two are also found. If we talk about the Soviet Union, then the heredity from the times of the Russian Empire is very clearly visible. Thus, the markings of the cartridges have hardly changed. Except that heavy bullets and ammunition with a steel core have ceased to be detected. This is not surprising, because when they first began to be introduced, they were a valuable rarity with a number of outstanding properties. Separately, it is worth mentioning the 7.62, model 1943, which replaced the 1908 cartridge. And this is not surprising, because over three and a half decades, science and processing methods have been able to move forward, opening up opportunities for creating new products.
Marking of WWII (and after) cartridges of this type was carried out mainly for incendiary, tracer, delayed and armor-piercing ammunition. By the way, since a large number of them were made, and there were no major conflicts, they can often be found in warehouses. In general, they are so good that only their individual modifications, produced in relatively small batches, were updated and changed.
About lathe chucks
They are special devices that are used to secure tools or parts to the spindle axis. Typically used as part of a lathe's headstock to clamp workpieces. But it can also be installed in dividing heads and rotary tables. There are self-centering chucks, as well as products with independent jaws.
If we talk about the markings of lathe chucks, then with products from the times of the Soviet Union everything is quite simple. After all, there was a single system in place back then. Each cartridge had a code consisting of eight numbers and a letter, which indicated the accuracy class of the product. Using a special table, thanks to the markings, it was possible to find out the number of jaws, chuck diameter, accuracy class and some other parameters. Now this is not so clear. A large number of different manufacturers and different countries of origin have created a situation where trying to give universal labeling to modern designs is unsuccessful. If you are interested in what and how, then you need to look for it from a specific manufacturer who created the device.
Specifics of marking. Marking of blank cartridges
As you can see, the time is not always indicated. In such cases, you can navigate the cartridges by the name of the company (comparing with the date of work) or by the version of the accepted mark. Also, sometimes stamps can indicate additional information, such as case material, purpose, capsule design, as well as other information such as: manufactured according to a military order, issued to the customer, patent, and so on. In domestic bullets of the period 1949-1954, a letter designation was used to indicate the time period. You can also find additional icons in the form of two diametrically located five-pointed stars. It is not uncommon to have additional letters and numbers. As an example, for the ShKAS aircraft machine gun, an additional Sh was provided at the end of the bottom. Armor-piercing incendiary ones were designated B-32. White color was used for standard cartridges.
By the way, what does the marking of blank cartridges look like? There is no single solution here. But, for example, in machine-gun cartridges of 14.5 and 12.7 caliber, a sealant additionally tinted green was used around the circumference of the junction of the cartridge case with the cap and the primer. But the lack of a unified approach creates certain problems. Nowadays, the most common products are red and green. But still, in order to avoid negative consequences, you need to find out about this when purchasing a weapon.
Introductory information
Now not only weapon cartridges have become widespread, but also construction and lathe cartridges. Separately, we can recall the blanks, which, although not used in military affairs, still deserve attention. In this case, the required information can be displayed in different ways. For example, using a brand, coloring or label. It should be noted that even though quite a bit of time has passed since the introduction of cartridge markings, it cannot be said with confidence that the same rules apply now as they did a century ago. Something appeared and was added to the system, other approaches, on the contrary, went out of use. There was a production of a specific type of cartridges, then they decided to close it. And there are a great many such situations.
The designations on the cartridges originate from the marks of craftsmen who put their marks on various goods (weapons, jewelry and pottery, and so on). Currently, marks have two main functions: advertising and technical information.
LABEL
Labels are attached to the closure with the elements of the shot or complete shots in order to obtain all the information about the ammunition without opening the closure, which is often sealed, and therefore opening it to inspect the ammunition without any particular need for this subsequently requires additional work to put it in proper order.
Labels can be multi-colored or single-colored. Colored ones are used when capping cartridge-loading rounds for small-caliber systems (up to 30mm inclusive), and their different colors are related to the design features of the shells and, therefore, to the combat use of certain rounds. The conventional color meaning of such labels is given in the corresponding configuration tables.
On closures with elements of shots or complete shots of caliber 37mm and higher, single-color labels are used, the content of which varies. Below, as an example, are shown the most common labels and the meaning of the data given in them.
Labels on the closure with elements of shots of separate cartridge loading
a) With a
1-caliber projectile and a sample projectile;
2 - fuse sample;
3 - there is no smoke-producing block in the bursting charge;
4 - symbol of explosive
5 - material of the leading belt
6 - ballistic sign
7 - place, day, month and year of the final equipment of the projectile and the sign of the person responsible for the equipment.
b) With combat charges
1 - abbreviated designation of the weapon for which the combat charges are intended;
2 — number of warheads;
3 - weight of gunpowder in each combat charge;
4 — brand of gunpowder;
5 - factory, year of manufacture of gunpowder and batch number;
6 - place, day, month and year of manufacture of the charge and sign; person responsible for production;
7 - symbol of the nature of gunpowder;
8 — sleeve index.
Suddenly a cartridge was found
For most people, getting their hands on ammunition is not an easy task. And those who do have access to them usually also have professional training: police officers, athletes, hunters, game wardens, military personnel. Therefore, a situation where there is a supply, but it cannot be classified, is unlikely for them. After all, they basically give out what is already well known.
But there have been numerous military conflicts on our territory. From many you can only find rusty iron and nothing more. But the Great Patriotic War has left its mark to this day. And finding bullets from that period is not a problem now. Of course, according to current legislation, the police must be informed about them and handed over to the sappers who arrive. But it’s interesting - what was found?
If we talk about the markings of World War II cartridges used by the Soviet Union, then first of all it is necessary to note 7.62x54. The 1891 model was blunt-pointed, while in 1908 a pointed one was introduced. That is, they can be distinguished by shape. In addition, you can also find a 7.62x25 TT cartridge. This sample was also used in such legendary weapons as PPSh, PPD, PPS. Tracer bullets are separately marked in green.
But not only domestic representatives come across. The markings of German cartridges from the Second World War may also be relevant. For example, 7.92x57. Their sleeves are distinguished by brass, bimetallic or steel varnishing. Moreover, there are both blunt-pointed and pointed ones.
Other bullets can be found on the territory of the Soviet Union, although problematic. These are mainly visitors and perform an auxiliary role. But if you move to other fronts, you will find different cartridges from the Second World War. The markings of French 8x50R bullets are distinguished by an annular groove at the bottom. Importantly, it is the first French smokeless rifle cartridge, developed in 1886. But the most relevant is still the marking of German cartridges of the Second World War, as well as Soviet models. Especially many of them can be found in places of major battles.
