Got some friends doing some work in Southwest Asia and they have a 130mm for which they are trying to identify country of origin. The projectile is unmarked, with no paint and is typical of all 130mm HE rounds for the past 30 years. The only details to go on are the numbers 6426 stamped on the body and the unusual plug in the nose.
I'm not able to post a photo of the projo at this time, but does anyone recognize this plug? This question is whether this is a piece local to the region, or if it is something seen before from the larger exporting countries, i.e. Russia, China, former Yugoslavia, etc. Any ideas?
