.50 Cal Dummy Headstamp ID Question (ME 96)

MCGunner · September 2, 2008, 05:42 PM

Hello,

Excuse me if this has been asked before (or if this is not the correct forum to post in), but I am trying to ID a .50 caliber Dummy round.

As you can see in the photographs the stamp reads:

.50 INERT ME96

I am not an expert but the only company with an "ME" I could find was the German firm Metallwerk Elisenhütte G.m.b.H. - but these rounds do not look like similar products I was able to find produced by them.

Another odd thing is the bluntness of the projectiles. Can anyone tell me anything about these? Thanks in advance.

Never mind - I found out where they came from.

So share.

I'm not familiar with that headstamp.
