Hi Dave,
That is the 120mm DM33 for the Leopard 2A4 tank.

The new additions after today's NVBMB meet:
30x165 AP-T
30x173 Dutch MN30 APDS
25x137 APFSDS
105mm APFSDS DM23
37x252SR UBR-167 AP-T

I am very pleased to have the DM23 in my collection now.

Hi All,
Another lucky find, a 76.5x385 Russian arrowhead. With the aluminium cap.
Unfortunately, someone cut a piece out of the bottom. Probably to make it into a sort of "cutaway".
Not my main interest, but still a good example of the steps from full bore AP ammunition to sub calibre rounds.

Hello all,
Recently, I added two sectioned 25mm rounds to my collection.
25x137 APDS
and
25x137 APFSDS

Very nice additions to the collection......I think you made Guido a happy man by buying his APFSDS projectiles.

 

[Haenosaki]

Thank you. He made me very happy with the offer he gave me. Could not refuse.

Does anybody know anything about the 105mm DM53? I can't find any reference to that type. Is it valid?
And does anybody have more info on the 120mm with the large sabot upper part (4th from the right)?

 

[apfsds]

WOW! That's an EXTREME SCORE! Drooling has started! LOL

Hello All,
It's been a while. We moved to a new home, creating a bit more room for the collection. That the wife and kids have more room as well, is a nice bonus.
Some new additions after todays NVBMB meet.
-90mm APFSDS (does anybody know the type designation?)
-25x184 APDS for the Oerlikon KBB
-57mm APHE-T
-20x139 OPTSOC (French APDS)
-20x128 APDS for the MeRoKa CIWS

 

[apfsds]

That 90mm APFSDS-T is really nice! I've seen a lot of 90's but this one escapes me to ID. Off to do some research to see if I can ID it in some of my reference materials. If you have the time and if it separates, could you post some more photos of it? No worries if you can't. Super Nice!

Jason

PS: Is the case brass or steel?

 

[Haenosaki]

The projectile is intended for a rifled gun. The plastic bands rotate and the penetrator rotates in the sabot.
Case is brass, 90x580R. The case may be incorrect for the projectile.
The penetrator length is 514mm.
Thanks,
