14.5x51mm spotter

ordman: I found the Gunbroker auctions that you were referring to. That red spotter is like what I have.

Thijs: It wasn't a yellow/red striped head. It was all red like the one in this photo.

yup those are the auctions he had all three of the rounds

I meant to say that I have a red tipped one which is the PD M-183
and yellow tipped one that is a 3 sec delay M-181

This cartridge has been around since at least the early 1950s and has been used with many more variations then most people realize. A friend of mine collects mortars and got started on mortar sub-cals, the 14.5 was used for this also and drew his interest. Here are some of his variations. This is from some old photos of his taken during an IAA display, he has offered to take updated, more detailed photos if there is interest.

Very nice items, thanks for sharing! Do you have a close-up of the display with sectioned specimens?

I don't, but if there is interest I can send him an e-mail and ask for some better shots. These pix were cropped from general photos he took of his display for the show. The quality sucks but I figured that it was good enough to test the waters and see if anyone wanted better.

I see now that my original response came through with dark text on a dark background. There is actually text above the photos, highlight it and you should be able to read. My computer at work is set up differently than my one at home, sometimes I get issues between the dark/bright screens.
