Thank you Ben for sharing your pictures of such an excellent item.

I don't think I have seen a German Sabot AP projectile before.

Do you know what gun it was for as I would have assumed a Flak gun would have had more than enough velocity for a normal 12.8cm Pzgr or Pzgr 43 projectile?

Thank you

Very interesting in 12,8cm.
The german designation is "Flanschgescho", that might be a flange projo. A sabot projo looks different.
Iam not sure - may be flange projo is the designatin for squeeze bore sytem projos?

Hey Ben,

Must admit, i'm "a mere tad jealous".

Absolutely beautiful projectile, is it fitted with a normal BdZ fr 8,8cm PzGr ?
