Hi,
I have this 25x137 projectile. It is painted blue, so that would indicate target practice, but I don`t really know if the blue colour is original. It also has a tracer cavity in the bottom and the nose end is threaded to receive a (dummy?) fuze. Most interesting is that is has a nylon driving band. The band is broken, so I removed one half to proof that it is original. The half part can be placed back easily to make it complete again.
I have never seen such a projectile and have no documentation about a 25x137 with nylon driving band, so who has some documentation on this one? Everything is welcome; origin, type, etc.
Regards, Cornman
