14.5 Question

[jvollenberg]

Can anyone tell me about these cartridges?
I know they are German manufactured. I think the top word is in Portuguese, but not positive.
Do they have a nomenclature for these rounds?

AFAIK, it's a subcaliber cartridge from Belgium, but I'd be happy to see any documentation about it.

So is the version in my pictures for Portugal?

Hi Jo,
My translator says Trançantes means Tracer in Portugal.
I know this spotter/tracer 14,5x51 was used in many Countries and manufactured in Germany.
If you need some Documentation about it I can send it to you.

I assume the case is made by DAG (Germany).
The markings are written in French.
NL could be a Dutch maker (?) : https://old.municion.org/14_5x51/14_5x51.htm

It is a cartridge from an Artillery training system, which is essentially a cannon that fires it, but which allows all the processes to be carried out (topography, links, firing correction... and even piece training, obviously with limitations).

It was manufactured by Dinamit Nobel and used explosive projectiles with a fixed delay or with a percussion fuse; there were also different projection charges. In my collection I have them with a percussion fuse with charges 1 and 3 and with a delay fuse of 3 and 6 seconds, with charge 1 in both cases.

It was used in many countries, including Spain (I was assigned as an Artillery Officer in a regiment where it was still used in 2005), but it is no longer manufactured.

I know that there is a Spanish company - Tecnesis 3000 - that tried to manufacture it again about three or four years ago, but I think in the end it was unable to due to administrative problems.

I think the first word means tracer.
