Waffy, you're a blinkin star....they look great, just as you described them to me. God knows how I'm going to find the other primer, but still I'm over the moon.

Anyone with any drawings of these rounds???

Rich

Excellent pictures Waff.

Where did you get them and what was the name of the tank/gun they were for?

-7,5cm 42M Pnclrepeszto grnt (HEAT) (It has the 42M PD fuze)
-7,5cm 42/36M Pnclgrnt (APHE) (It has the 36aM base fuze)

Hi FHGrStg
Nice to see another Hungarian round....do you have any drawings of these items, AP, HEAT or HE? as I've not managed to find any so far.

Cheers
 
Hi Richard,

Sorry, but I haven't got any drawings, because all of the documentations (firing tables, drafts) got lost in the war times.
