Help needed IDing these links & rounds please
Links are steel but not disintegrating as held together with a steel pin
Rounds - I think - are 7.9 BESA?
Headstamp on LH one in 1st pic is K5 (Kynoch) then a circle with 44 (1944) then @ 6 o`clock pos`n IIZ.
This has 3 shallow grooves around case halfway up a wood projectile well crimped in & no primer so a drill or training round?
The one on the right has a copper FMJ proj with struck primer.
Headstamp is 41 @ 12 o`clock 90 @ 3 S @ 6 & S @ 9
Case has gnurled band around it about 10mm from base - another drill trainer?
Case lengths are 57mm
These are not pushed all the way home in the links but there is a notch in the links that engages with the rim once fully home.
Cheers all
