Hi again folks.

Good to see a WW1 U-boat mod in the works.

I just wandered by because I'm trying to find some images of WW1 german U-boat torpedoes for a boardgame project I'm working on (I still haven't recovered enough from my wife losing her job in 2008 to get a decent computer, so it's cardboard and dice for me right now).

Anyway, does anyone know what the C35/91, C/06 and G/6 torpedoes looked like? I've been scouring the web and can't find a damned thing. So far, I've taken a stab at creating an image for these three, but it's mostly based on guesswork. I know based on Schwieger's attack on the Lusitania that the older torpedoes (presumably the C35/91s) were referred to as "bronze" torpedoes, so I'm guessing the later ones were steel(?):
