105mm used in what ?

[Investment]

Hi,

Would any members know what this piece is :dry:

The writing on it says "105MM TK APDS SX 509 GF T".

I can only guess at what some of the lettering means, so I'll leave it to the experts to positively ID it.

Thanks,

Invest

hi Invest, the 105mm was developed for the Centurion tank but was adopted by many countries. They may still be being manufactured by Royal Ordnance against overseas contracts - they certainly were up to a few years ago. Dave
