Hi!
This is my - AP-T 2-pound from Britain.
Tell me how are they called?
№ 1 = AP 2PR IV T
№ 2 = ?
№ 3 = ?
Footprints in the copper belt is different.
May be determined by the model gun?
No idea about these. But here is one I picked up today.
Has varnish or something over original paint.
Band is marked; AP2PR Vl T S?C 10318 BSB 35C6/42 ^
I presume white indicated practice - or is it drill ? What would the use of these in white be for, obviously no real
difference between a white one and the regular kind.
Would I be right in thinking this is for instructional purposes hence no tracer compound , maybe even used for instruction without a case ?
Your middle projectile with the coarse rifling has been fired from a Bofors gun (presumably a 40/60) and not by a 2 pounder A/T gun (2 pounder A/T gun has finer rifling as in the right hand projectile.
1/2" across 1" deep or 13mm x 25mm. I think because it is white over all that it was instructional and never had a case or tracer filling, but was marked like one that has for teaching purposes. There were a few others around like it.
I think all white is for instruction/classroom and perhaps never had a case or tracer compound. Service projectiles would be different more like yours.
Stamp on the Cu belt, as your 2 pr shell I've seen the photographs of shell Rossi.
These shells were used during WWII!
Here is an example of an inscription:
AP2PR Vl T STC 9521 BS C75 C 8-42 ^
Not sure Gorden but I think the answer is=
Hi Der Uhu not really sure what the score was with the 2 pounder round and the Bofors gun although I do seem to recall there being an AP-T round made specfically for the Bofors-your projectile bears Bofors rifling !
For a groovs - foto#1 and foto#2. It`s AT-gun narrow groovs? Projectile finded in Moscow region.
Foto #3-5: my shell, finded in the explosion of the tank (~ 5 this unknown projectilesand 2 normal AP-T). Bryansk region, 1943.
