HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Greetings, a 155mm How. proj. with the following stampings just above the drive band, can any body tell me where it was made please?

155H-HE-M107-HXP-70-3-1987

Thanks,
Regards Ozzi.
 
If you google "HXP ammo manufacturor", you will find it's the Greek Pyrkal company.

HXP : HELLENIC DEFENCE SYSTEMS SA (EBO-PYRKAL) ; Hellenic Powder & Cartridge Company, Athens, Greece

Thanks Yoda, I have seen HXP on small arms ammo headstamps but first time that I have encountered it on large ordnance, do this company also make large ordnance?
Regards Ozzi.
