Here is a cracker from the Ben-meister.

Very nice marked 88 with steel case and AP projectile,came with correct dated primer.

Lots of original paint left,one for the collection to sit with last years brass cased HE version.

cheers

Interesting,

I didnt know they loaded Panzergranate 39 to the C/35. There is no AP round in the manual.
Short case - not enouth power?
 
Hello Waff, i hope that you are happy with this one, it was the best one i ever had for sell, very nice UBoot round...regards Ben
 
Hello,
thank you for posting this round. I was just contacted by friend who wants to sell me a king tiger round that I've been chasing for a few years .. he mentioned that he would also like to sell a round like this... I know nothing about U-boat rounds but would like to make a fair offer... based upon the other ordnance he has I'm sure it is all correct and in very nice condition.. I've requested some pics but have not received them yet.. any assistance would be helpful.. thank you
 
Great item Waff! Hope to get my hands on such a good steel case.....if it happens, it will probably be because of "Ben-meister" ;-)
