All,
I have a small collection of French WWII ordnance, and despite research, have always been a little uncertain about some of the rounds, in particular one or two of the 37mm rounds. This was somewhat exacerbated recently by a (more knowledgeable) friend pointing out that all were in wrong cases.!!
I still think I'm "pretty sure" what most of these items are, but for fun (and my education) I thought it was time try to remove any confusion once and for all, and open it to the BOCN members.....As such I have added a picture of 4 projectiles and 4 cases, and the goal is to help me match the Projectile to the case, and where possible, name each item.
For reference, the cases have the following dimensions
Case 5 - 37x94R
Case 6 - 37x149R
Case 7 - 37x149R
Case 8 - 37x277R
I'm afraid there aren't any prizes, just satisfaction you're helping out a fellow member ;-)
