Hi DM,

Sorry, no flat top 95mm smoke, but an unfired and badly painted version of the one you have. I also shown is a 25PDR smoke. The rounds are dated 1943 and 44 respectively.

The only pictures I have of 95mm rounds are from the Armourer magazine issue 37...which i think spotter pointed me towards.

So as DM said, if anyone has any 95mm close support pictures / reference materials...please post em !!

The rounds are

25PDR 1943 Smoke
95mm CS 1944 Smoke

I have this drawing of a TYPICAL flat top smoke if thats any use to you sorry but theres no size for this round.These originally used to be ignited by the flash of the gun melting a solder plug in the base but this also caused the full fore of the propellant gases to blow out the contents out of the shell.This was solved by having a delay instead of the solder

DM, Spotter,

Thanks for the pictures and drawings....they're excellent and exactly what I was looking for. ...and if anyone has one for sale, let me know ;-) (ok, im shameless!! )

In the picture of my 95mm Smoke and 25pdr Smoke, the 25pdr has original paint...does anyone know what colour this is???

finally, and i hope this is ok, the 95mm was used in several vehicles, but most commonly seen in the 95mm CS Cromwell (called Centaur) an example of which is at Lion-Sur-Mer, Normandy.
