Hi Waff,

Dont get me wrong but it seems a bit strange that your planning to spend a large amount of money (I presume?) on a 88x882R round but you dont have a picture or any info on it?

There are some good reference books out there (German artillery of world war two by Ian V Hogg springs to mind) which should help.

Ah,good question my good man!
its from a private collector who is known to my good pal and mentor Mick.
I have much faith in my old mucker!
it may be even late on next year when the round becomes available as the owner is shifting interest in collecting(say german to russian for example)
I have first dibs on it,so i was wondering what one looked like.
Its a lot of cash,so much saving up first!.

thanks for the pic Harry,:)

Saffery sold a near mint one on ebay about a year ago I would of loved it I got outbid at 275 it went for around 400 + i think

By the way I want to thank Waff for introducing me to this site when he fleeced me for a 3.7cm Flak sk /c30 at an arms fair. Cheers Mate

Hi Richard
Here are a couple of photos of some of my AP rounds one with British & US the other German & Russian, Hope fully it won't effect collecting the ammo it bad enough having to put it on a FAC ever 5 years.
