Pictured is a recently acquired brass 75mm case from the post war French tank gun that armed the AMX-13 and also was used to upgun the Israeli Shermans. I would read the headstamp as 1964 production and the primer appears to have Hebrew markings. The case is 591mm long with a rim diameter of 116mm, my reference material talks about a case length of 597mm but I can see no evidence of any trimming. Furthermore the couple of French projectiles I have match the crimping marks exactly.
Pictured against a Panther 75mm KWK-42 case as there is much discussion over the development of the French weapon being influenced by the Panther gun. As always glad to have your comments.
