Beautiful example, that's been on my "wants list" for years. Thanks for showing.

Dave.

Thanks Dave.

German WW1 anti tank bullet ?

 

[Buster]

2cm Becker case?

 

[SG500]

No an WW1 anti tank bullet and not a Becker.............but you're close with the Becker idea.

Dave.

 

[EOD]

Erhard.....

 

[SG500]

Erhard.....

Correct.
Over to you EOD.

The photos show the Becker on the right and the Erhard on the left. Although very similar the cases have different dimensions. When you come across them the square lower part of the Erhard is the most obvious difference to look out for.
Dave.

 

[EOD]

I'll pass my trun to a volunteer. Anybody is invited.

 

[HAZORD]

Try this.

And does anyone have info on the 20mm Erhard? I'm unfamiliar with that one.

 

[EOD]

The projectiles are identical with those of the Becker type 2. The gun itself is a far predecessor of later Rheinmetall designs as Erhard was the founder of Rheinmetall. I think there is a Erhard gun in a Belgian museum somewhere, the only one known I think.

I'm sure glad you posted these. I have a Becker that wasn't like the others. Now I know it's an Erhard! You continually learn, if your eyes are open!

Result!! Keep it safe. From my experience for every Ehrhart there are at least 20 Beckers.
I'm never sure of the spelling for this one. Attached some info, spelt Ehrhart.

Some sort of RPG with flip out fins?
Dave.

 

[HAZORD]

The "Flip out fins" appears to be a given, but not an RPG.

 

[SG500]

The "Flip out fins" appears to be a given, but not an RPG.

Any more clues? I think some of us are struggling with this one.

Dave.

 

[HAZORD]

When looking at the fins, you will notice they are relatively frail. As stated it isn't from an RPG. It travels slower than an RPG.

 

[kahu1]

CS riot projectile?

 

[HAZORD]

No, it's not a projectile and not riot.

 

[glevum]

a submunition?
