Unidentified Cannon Links

Hi,

Can anyone help me to identify these cannon links?

They're stamped "HLM-OE 01 - 83" and they have a diameter of approx. 32mm, so I think they would fit somewhere around 25-27mm calibre.

If possible, I'd like to know the nationality, the maker and the weapon.

Thanks in anticipation!

Gary

This are 25x184 links for the 25mm Oerlikon KBB/KBD gun.
HLM - Lanz, Hermann, Murgenthal, Swiss.
 
Those links (in my experience) are actually fairly hard to find just like the rounds. Only seen TP-T or the pink projectile TP and TPDS dummies. They are in super good condition too!
 
Yes the ammunition is hard to find.
I have only the two dummy's and i have seen a Break up and a APDS-T.

Hi,
Thanks for that encouragement!
They're listed on Quickfire Auctions and I can definitely ship internationally!
Cheers,
Gary
