Link ID #11

[charley777]

Hello again
Last one for the moment...
I think i know the IDs of the few remaining links in my collection ....
This one is fairly obviously for a 35x228 cartridge.
Stamped ....

DM 70
HO - H - 05 - 79

So presumably German ... for which gun?
I have two 35x228 cases ....one has a groove around it which would be for belt link location. The other lacks such a groove.
So is perhaps for a magazine-fed gun ?
Thank you

You're right. The belt link is for 35x228 cartridges and is used in the Oerlikon GDP-03 which is built into the German AA tank.

Thank you Rigby for all your replies.
I am now less ignorant about links
Cheers
