210mm sabot

[SG500]

I bought this recently, it was advertised as a sabot.
Does anyone have any information on it? I'm assuming its for one of the German arrow shells?
External diameter of the item is 210mm
Internal 130mm.
Height 60mm.
There are grooves on the inside to fit onto something, presumably the dart?
The grenade in the first photo is there for scale. This is a BIG sabot.
If anyone has a spare dart let me know :tinysmile_twink_t2:.
Thanks.
Dave.

Nice pick up Dave, amazing, you learn something new every day.

Does anyone have anything in documents on these??, it seems they did a number of different sized calibers.

Does anyone know what colour it should be?

I risked it and painted it green. At least it won't go any more rusty now.
