65mm Oerlikon
Hi, this is the only post WW2 projectile I've ever come across in 65mm.
I understand its an Oerlikon.
The stampings on it say:
"167 400 32 79 E838"
It has a plastic band.
I have no idea about the colours or even if they are original.
The 30mm Gau 8 projectile gives you an idea of scale.
Both are inert of course!!
Does anyone have any further information on it?
