30x113 Origin

[hasag]

Hi there
Anyone know the origin of this 30mm Defa?
Thank you

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.

For some reason the 'EAB' makes me think South American?

Kike,

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

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
