High,

Iam looking for pictures of surviving SG (Sondergert) ammo. Projectiles, cardboard cases, bolts with ignition.
Any idea? Have all drawings - look for pics of real ammo.
 
Attached are a few photos of the SG113A projectile that I have.
Dave.

I don't know about the SG114 or SG115 (is that the same as the Mk114 and Mk115?).
The SG116 was a 30mm with a cardboard case. Don't have any photos of a round.
The SG117-119 were variations using varying numbers of barels from a Mk 108 cannon, the SG117 having 7 barrels, the SG 118 having 21 and the SG 119 having 49 barrels!! Mk 108 rounds are reasonably common.
Dave.

Thanks US-Subs nice projectile.
I've attached a few photos of the other one I have, unfortunately its hit something but it does have the base plate in it. All INERT etc.
The projectiles shown seem to be the most commonly found versions, there are at least 5 other versions that I have line drawings of. Does anyone else have examples of these?
All the ones I've seen (5 including the 2 I have) are in the same condition i.e. relic but OK. I understand the ones I have are Reichlin ones, i.e. recovered. Do any really good example ones exist out there?
The booklet I have on this has the title "Flanschgeschob 7.7cm" unbekannte Versuchsausfuhrungen fur eine geheime Waffe" and was written by G Marks. Its 7 pages long and all in German. I don't suppose anyone has a translation of it do they?:tinysmile_eyebrow_t
There is also some good information in the book "German aircraft guns WW1-WW2" by Edward J Hoffschmidt on pages 156 and 157 which states:
"The SG113A was mounted vertically muzzle downwards and fired from some echo impulse from tanks on the ground as the aircraft passed over them. Radar was the means of obtaining the echo". It goes on to give information on the gun:
"Gun Length 62.5, Gun weight 105.6, Muzzle velocity 2112 ft/second, system of operation recoilless single loader".
Does anyone have any more information on this please?
Dave.
