77mm MkI 1944 VAEL Comet Tank Case

One of my better finds at Stoneleigh today. It also means my 17pdr / 77mm flathead shot now has a home. Hopefully I'll find a sexier AP shot at some point.

Cheers,
Mark

Very nice. Im looking for a 77 casing for an APDS projectile.

Thanks. What's the difference between the APDS and non-APDS cases?

As far as I know I dont think anything, same casing. If it where for the QF-17pdr the casings are much bigger. Both the Comet and QF-17pdr used APDS rounds but different casings. I would be happy with either

One for sale here.
The crimping is in the wrong place for an APDS but other than that its good.
