M304, 90-MM, HVAP-T family

Does anyone have any of these projectiles they can take pictures of? we have several line drawings, and would like some real pictures for the EOD publication.

I am specifically looking for the A1 version and any of them in a cartridge case.

I have one that is unpainted. Give me a day or two to get to it.

Hello Joe,

Here are some photographs of my inert early prototype M304 90mm HVAP-T round. It's designation was T44. The inscription located on the integral steel rotating band projectile base is: LOT HCO -6-5-45 90MM T44. The ink stencil located on the base of the Tungsten carbide AP core is: LOT KMC -2-4 1945. The brass shell casing is a standard M19 with a continuous full diameter crimp and is dated 1944. Just let me know if I can provide any specific angles, etc you might need.

Best regards,

Randall

Wow Randall, nice bullet. Cool that it all comes apart.
