Thanks.
5cm arrowheads in the CORRECT cases (the crimp marks are lower down than the normal AP and He versions.

Dave not only the lower crimp but these cases have different case geometry. The whole case neck and shoulders are different.

Jeff, I understand the nature of this collection but need to say that I heard plenty of stories from people who visited such places and were allowed to do research and photo work in there. Nothing easier done than taking in a fake and replacing the original. Not all researchers and collectors are honest! Do these people have a log of who has been in and out over the last 15 years?
Not to mention the stories I know of where employees and visitors been helping themselfes and took what ever they wanted (or were able to carry). And this does not apply only to the US.

here an other example from the same "factory" with the same fake WaA Stamp:

I think this is the last of the squeezebores, though there are still more photos to go through. This one was a bit surprising when I looked at the headstamp on the case. Oal is given as 615mm, length of projo, 177mm. In regard to the discarding sabots, studded projectiles etc, do you want them here, or in a new thread?

I pulled up the data page, I don't know if it is from a stamped marking, records or what, but they identify it as a T-6. Maybe one step further on the development ladder?
Here's a photo of my 28/20, still looking for a case........:tinysmile_hmm_t2:
