Looking for id's on the loadings of these 20mms please.
The first two are Swiss 20x110 hispanos from the 50's,the third is from a Yugoslavian? 20x138B(headstamped 20mm M53 Cy5567 and two monograms of TK & BK)
Thanks Tony

Tony,

The first Swiss one, i'm not sure, but that one could be a "Panzer brand granate" (AP-HE)

The second Swiss one (pink with yellow) is a "Minen-Brand-Granate mit Momentanzunder" (HEI with instant fuze).

The third one is indeed a Yugoslavian HE round. They made these with new components, or even with old German pieces (see example with German WWII evz 1944 dated code)

Many thanks orpheus72...now I can put them away in the correct place in my collection.

The Yugoslavian are not HE.....this are TP-T for the Subcaliber device M62.
CY - Kompanija Sloboda A.D.
The first swiss one is a API (swiss nomenclature RID) with PD and BD Fuzes for double incendiary effect.

Rigby,

You're correct. I got mixed up... The original (German) ones were HE-T, but were converted by Yougoslavia to TP-T (and hey also made complete new ones).
