Greetings to all
I have had this one for a while.
90x351R x101.7rim
So it is not for the British L1A1 which uses a cartridge 90x350R x100rim
Probably someone can ID the headstamp and primer stamps.
I got this at the same time as i got a South African stamped 20Pr case (84x618R).
So perhaps this is also S African?
Thanks for any help
Charley
 
Thanks Hazord,
Yes i'm sure it's for a Cockerill or similar Belgian gun (there are quite a few...)
Am mainly intrigued by the stampings and wish to learn more.
 
It could well be South African. They used the 90mm Gun on the Ratel IFV. The version with the 90mm gun was known as the Ratel 90.
 
Thanks Tony...yes i now have a copy of RCJ's lists , which is what prompted me to ask the question.
Thanks Falcon...good to know. So until i learn otherwise i shall assume it IS S African.
I have seen at least one member on the forum from there so will try and find out more.
