5cm squeezebore query

[SG500]

On pages 108 and 109 of "Von Flanschengeschossen und Wolframkernen" by Manfred Stegmuller there are 2 photographs of the 50/37 squeezebore HE projectiles.
Does anyone have specimens they can show?
What case was used?
What other variations exist (the ones shown are the standard HE and the long HE).
Sorry, I'd scan in photos of the pages but suspect there would be copywrite issues. The book can be found on Amazon:

Dave,

I think you might be hard pressed to find someone who owns such projectiles given their rarity.
However you might like to contact Armin Bickel, iff anyone is likely to have one, or to have any info on types in existence it must be him (or he might know someone who does).

Kind regards,

Thanks Menno, if they're out there I keep hoping :neutral:
Great link, is Armin on BOCN?

Dave,

Here's the one I recently had. It is a practice type with a solid aluminum nose plug. When I tried to unscrew it, the whole ogive and nose plug came off together and revealed the body filled with black tar as an inert load. I think a small arrow on the nose plugs was the only marking present.
