Hello John. I do not have any good photos or drawings of the bands. They are much different than the WWII projectile bands - much wider. What can you offer?
I have put brass driving bands back onto this projectile. Does anyone have a picture or drawing of the round so I can know the final shape to machine it to on the lathe?
The bands on the BR-372 are very wide compared to other 85mm ammo. They are 0.7 inches wide each. It is now my understanding this projectile was only used with the D-48 85mm antitank cannon, and this gun used a 100mm case necked down to 85mm. How difficult is it to find this case in Europe?
In Europe -beside the SU- the D-48 was in service only in Bulgaria and Romania, the ASU-85 tank destrolyer was used only by Poland so i guess it's hard to get.
Marek shared some photos with me of Polish training UBR-372 rounds for the D-48 antitank gun that are in dealer hands in Poland. Theoretically, Bowman should have these for sale in the US at some point.
