105MM Hesh,opinions please.

[AndyD]

I've been offered some 105mm rounds,amongst them is this 105mm Hesh,does it look ok as I've never owned one of these before?

Cheers,
Andy

It looks OK, although I question the color of the ogive. Is there any stamping in the side of the body, like model numbers, etc.?

lOOKS GOOD

Andy it looks fine except that the base part c/w fuze is missing, I only have a picture of a 120 mm TK Prac/SH but you will get the idea of what is missing even though the rounds differ slightly in the shape of the Alloy base.

Thanks for the replies.
I take it the fuze part screws into the threaded section at the base?

Cheers,
Andy

Fuze well.

Thanks for the replies.

Correct Andy, one very big left hand threaded Alloy adaptor which is then threaded for an internal base fuze about 65mm in diameter which can be very difficult to undo!
If fired it is then impossible to undo
Andy you will find a picture of the said Base Fuze on this link--
