A time ago buys this ammo but do not be of that neither nationality nor that cannon shoots, it does some 88mm of diameter and of high place without counting the fuse 325mm, the fuse is 22 divisions, I me suppose that it must be anti-aircraft




hace un tiempo compre este proyectil pero no s de que nacionalidad ni que can lo dispara, hace unos 88mm de dimetro y de alto sin contar la espoleta 325mm, la espoleta es de 22 divisiones , me supongo que debe ser antiareo

For my first look, it looks like a 25 pr SMK ?

 

[hicky1300]

With you on that Pascal but Fuze doesn`t look right?
Wouldn`t it normally be a 117/119 fuze?
Ah maybe not! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:QF_25_pounder_Ammunition-001.jpg

 

[farre]

I it do not understand

[farre]

It can be that it is the shot of smoke

 

[hicky1300]

Farre
SMK = SMOKE
So you are right.
25 pounder smoke shell post 1945

 

[farre]

This shot is of escavacion, must be of the second world war

In this link it makes clear that the smok I make from 1939 to 1945


en este link explica que el smok se fabrico del 1939 al 1945

 

[hicky1300]

Apologies Farre - you are right 1939 - 45 smoke 25 pounder

seria muy dificil encontrar una vaina para este proyectil ?

Serious very difficult to find a case for this ammo ?

gracias, resgards

 

[spotter]

a cartridge should be very easy to find,ebay or specialist auctions could even be some in the classifieds here...they are seperate loading ammunition,,the projectile is inserted into the gun first,followed by the cartridge

 

[farre]

Thank you very much

regards

Further to the post from Spotter , 25Pr cases are actually quite hard to find these days !

 

[spotter]

blimey whats happened they used to be everywhere,,people been cashing them in as scrap ??

 

[siegfreid]

I was wondering the same thing but they definitely ain't about in the numbers they used to be . Sign of the times , I suppose . All gone to China to make I-Thingies !

 

[charley777]

Seem to be plenty still around in New Zealand...they come up regularly on our equivalent of ebay.
So farre, if you have difficulty finding a case i can find one here...but the postage has to be considered, of course

 

[farre]

conseguido una vaina en egun espero llege bien y tenga el disparo completo
