    This is the thing ppl don't know what things are until someone shows an interest in the item, no doubt now the owner is doing research or asking around and you may find the price goes up. I hope you acquire it Jim and the case to go with it pairing items up with the correct match are hard it's not like a supermarket aisle.

    I've given up on the 88mm Tiger round 15 years ago I should have brought the one I found but I did not have the $1K asking price I only had $900 for the whole show so would have traveled 300Klm to buy just 1 item now they are asking $4K. I'm still holding hope of getting a 105mm H.E round for my brass Leopard 1 shell case but again they don't grow out the back garden and I'm not getting any younger well none of us are.

    I use to go to the cartridge shows in the USAicon, you could spend all day without a problem and get educated too, not many cartridge only shows but they are
    still around. regular gun shows had interesting cartridges too at lower prices, about 3/4's of my Britishicon Express cartridges were found in cigar boxes at gun
    shows. Years ago I found an original Germanicon WW2 7,92x94mm anti tank cartridge complete with tear gas capsule in the bullet nose, too much at $150 US
    plus you had to worry about the tear gas. I made a nice dummy out of aluminum, drawings and dimensions are on the internet.

    Here's an option that I've considered for future difficult matches... I know it's not what we want but it's getting that way. Amazon.com: Life Size 105mm TNT Dummy Inert Ordnance Projectile NATO Artillery Shell Round Piggy Coin Bank Replica : Toys Games
