Dave,
Very nice collection of very hard-to-find goodies. Did your computer crash and do a core dump of all of your bullet photos today?
Of course we are expecting a nice album on your profile now, with everything labeled in photoshop, just like Gordon's 37mm collection!
Seriously, you have a lot of nice stuff, and I haven't seen some of it in any postings, but I haven't gone back to search through all of your posting to confirm.
It was great that you had the time to unbox the lesser displayed items. I noticed your AAI 25mms. I don't have those loadings, but do have one with a heavy penetrator.

Very nice, I see why you wanted it back. There's something about those rounds with big sharp bits pointing out of the front of them.

Hi Dave, Am looking at the D2 parent no's, item no and mfg's plus dates. When you get time can you image all your long case ADEN's, 1953-56incl. Cheers, Ron.

Poltewerke, I'm curious as to what you mean by most of them are known. The usual RG cases and batches etc I can well believe are recorded but I have one with nothing in the groove and RA2/2957 stamped in the body above the band read from the neck end and have always wondered why its marked like that. 2pr

25mm AAI Round
Dave,
Here are photos of the AAI round you wanted to see. The tip of the sabots are open, and the penetrator can be seen inside. The round next to it is the same shape, fired case and unfired projo. It has something protruding from the primer hole, that is holding it up. It has no headstamp.
