15mm BESA HMG casing -needs projectile-

Ornate

Member
I've recently had a skim through my collection and found something unidentified, I asked a friend and turns out it's a 15mm BESA HMG case. He said it's an uncommon piece. Is this true? And anyone know of any projectiles floating around? Thank you :) The headstamp is G.B 42 and WIZ.

they are getting harder to find now,good luck with finding a projectile for it!...it took me over two years to find a decent case for the projectile I had,it's probably going to be easier to find a complete round...GB 42 WIZ = Greenwood and Batley Ltd,Leeds Yorkshire 1942,MkI Armour Piercing, nitro-cellulose.
