John,

'Pot Sabot' and the one next to it is a 'Semi Sabot - base discarding'

Thanks Tim. Does it have a model number or experimental number assigned to it? I have 2 of them that I'm trying to label.

Sorry to interrupt the thread but looking at the number and red stain on the cut surface I would say that all four photos show one projectile.
The only difference ist he sheetmetal sleve.

How was the projectile prevented from wobling in the barrel is my question.

Bob,

You're quite right they're all '743'. The 'semi sabot - base discarding' is very similar in appearance to the last two images, one suspects they are related. The document I have makes no mention as to how wobbling, barrel slap was prevented.

John,

The document I have makes no mention of the original German model number etc. It does however, make reference to drawings, which if they still exist, I shall try and view and advise you accordingly.

Hello,

I think picture 4 and picture 5 doesn't belong to the same set because on picture 4 it's the inner part of the ITALIAN all ways fuze "Olergon" (different versions) for grenade (and mortar)

Regards.

Thanks, I'l pass it on. You can see from the photo numbers that they were part of the same file, possibly mistakenly grouped by the museum.
 
Whow, what an incredibly well-conditioned T.Mi.29 practice .... I always wonder where such gems are coming from?
