30x113 Origin

Just by any chance, would it be possible to get some pictures of the bottom of the projectile? I have a projectile that looks similar, and I could never get it identified.
 
Kike,

My guess it's a French round, as I have EAB noted as "Etablissements d'tudes darmement de Bourges "

On the cartridge what is the stamping ,,can i see CY

Hi spotter,

by taking a closer look to the picture, there indeed seems to be a CY engraving on the belt.
so in that case, it's a mismatched UK case with a French projectile.
 
And most(if not all?) DEFA is steel cased,so that'll be an ADEN case with DEFA proj.
 
Not sure that the sheath corresponds to the projectile.
Get the projectile without the pod and not knowing the source did not know that pod mounted.
I'll have to put another metal sheath Defa.
Thanks to all
 
Just as well.
Indeed it is from France
HX know someone who is?
Thank you all.
Kike
