Here's the latest lump of metal that I just couldn't resist.
Its a 175mm discarding sabot round. The projectile minus sabots is approximately 140mm in diameter.
Very few markings on it, as shown in the photos.
It is repainted.
Does anyone have any further information on this one, I've drawn a blank, can't find anything on it.
All INERT etc.
Thanks,
Dave.
PS to those observant ones - I realise I labelled the photos wrong, it is of course not an apds not being armour piercing.
