Random Museum Ordnance Photos

Thanks, big time, Tim! "Semi" Sabot is a new term and design to me. Very cool!

The 105RR WP Smoke is nice to see. Too bad those museum people let things rust all to hell.
 
Very small one. If I recall correctly museum docs identify it as WWII Soviet.
 
The data cards identify the first as 120mm. The second as Soviet 130mm WP.
 
The 120mm is most likely Jap. It looks like the Jap one that I have, although it could be foreign manufacture to be used in Jap guns. I have only seen them with brass cases.

Gun designation 12cm 45 caliber Type 10 Year Dual Purpose Gun. The book says some steel case examples were found. Page 182 and 183 of the Handbook of Japanese Explosive Ordnance 1945, and page 47 of the supplement 1945.
