13pdr HE

[Andysarmoury]

Hi, Here is my 13pdr its unfired including the case, the shell has a No11 Adapter fitted to take the No 44/80 Mk 1 fuse.

Andy

Amended as i put the wrong Number adapter down it should be a No9

Very nice Andy, they're quite hard to find unfired.

Rare find.

Very nice item and fairly unusual to see.

Thanks for showing us Andy.

 

[Andysarmoury]

Thanks Chris, i would like to get the No 44/80 Mk 1 fuse but i expect they are like hens teeth i have the No 80 ready for it but its the brass one i really need the aluminium one but yet again they are hard to get hold of so its a matter of waiting for the right one to come along.

Never seen the Aluminium version !

As you say probably "hens teeth" and to try and find one !

 

[SG500]

If you keep looking I'm sure one will come along - its surprising how many hens teeth there are around!!

Hi
It's a 13Pr HE Mk I
It's must be fitted with 44/80 and 80/44
The adapterN11 is not for this shell
The security adapter N 11 (2 in thread) is fitted inside the eye off 3 in HE AA shell under the fuze 80/44
Also when the 85 is fitted on 3 in HE AA, the fuse 44/85 is used under on adapter N9

 

[Andysarmoury]

OK Doc, thanks for that, i must have got it mixed up

You could probably quite easily find a proper primer for it as well, the one in it appears to be a replica that someone has made. I'm sure there is a cut down 18 Pounder case somewhere with a Canadian Marked primer you can take out of it.

Fuse

Hi Andy,speak to Waff,his mate mick had 1 maybe 2 at beltring,they needed work on the threads but im sure you could sort out that. He might still have one?? Best ,Tony:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

 

[Andysarmoury]

Thanks Tony, i will do that.

13pr

I believe the 13pr HE shell taking the 80/44 fuze system was the AA shell and not normally used with the field gun case, more usually in the 13pr 9cwt necked down 18pr case. Aluminium no.80s are available as they were made from at least 1905 onward by EOC and VSM but I believe the correct fuze would be marked 80/44 not just 80. My similar shell has the adaptor, cant see a number on it and shell is marked as a MKI. 2pr

 

[Andysarmoury]

Hi 2pdr, i was wondering if it was for the AA case something else to look out for.
Cheers

hi
The fuze 80/44 for this Mk I HE shell must be Mk IV version with internal aluminium body
this 80/44 (introduce in 1914) is not the same used in AA shell because it's a time and percution fuze and not a time fuze like the new 80/44 used in 1917 in AA shell and not before
This first version of 80/44 is alway used in 18Pr HE shell Mk I ( same body and reduced eye like your 13 Pr but in 18Pr)
Your case is correct for this shell
