.50 Cal Dummy Headstamp ID Question (ME 96)
(1/1)
MCGUnner:
Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
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? I know they are not rare because we have about 2,000 belted examples at work. Thanks in advance.
Semper Fidelis

MCGUnner:
Never mind - I found out where they came from. :)
Jerryp:
can you share with us where they came from?
MCGUnner:
Jerry,
Sorry about that…
Manroy Engineering (UK) produced the brass and the marked M-2 links (MFT) were made by the "Metaalwaren Fabriek Tilburg", in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
