Uk 20mm two sets of stampings ?

[spotter]

Just been going through some stuff and found this poor condition 20mm cartridge by radway green 1950 dated.I was about to bin it when I noticed it was also stamped on the side WN/92P/52/SAP12 .
what do these extra stampings indicate as its something ive not seen,or just not noticed before..
thanks in advance allan

20mm

Radway Green only produced the case. The stamps on the side are the loading data by whoever loaded it, and I am not sure who that was.

you see the same thing on Aden cases. The RG stamp as the case maker and the CY Chorley stamp for the load details.

Sir, the marking SWN for Swynnerton, R.O.F. 92 for the batch number and P for flashless propellant. 52 for year of asssembly and SAPI2 for Semi Armour Piercing lncendiary Mk.2 regards, Ron Could it be SAPIZ?

20mm

Duh! Well done Ron. I was trying to think who WN could be and it did not even occur to me to think of putting the S in front!. I knew what the rest of the code was but could not connect on the filling station.

Must be getting old. Hell, I AM old!
