I since see links like an MG for these Oerlikon cases and wish I'd had my brother bring me several and links too. Not sure those guns used them though. What I WANTED was live rounds. He didn't get that part...
I built flat nose projees to replicate some of the 2Pdr ammo I've seen. I still have one to make for my Jap 37mm as the only projee I've seen is about $375CDN and original. Just can't do it though.
That is Cool Thanks for sharing it.
:thup:
Not normally my thing to do but in this case it's a continuance to resurrect this thread...finally after 35 or so years I found a 20 Pdr Centurion case. I'd picked up a smoke proje back in '87 in Wainwright and held it until finding this case. If not rare, then what are they? This is brass and marked the same year as the proje, '56. The projectile sat for 25 years in the same spot and then all in one week it gets refurbished and mounted in it's new home...pics.
Splendid.
Awesome Jim sometimes it takes allot of years to get what one requires they just don't grow on the back yard tree and only a fellow collector can really understand just how long it takes, hours spent on the net searching, flea markets and second hand shops plus I have a mate..........
