20mm flak question!

[Rogerd]

Hi,

Just found these,
What is the difference between them?
Are the cardboard cilinders original to them?

Thanks!

[Rogerd]

Nobody?

Not sure, but the center rd appears to be AP and the one on the right a mine rd.... They did come in cardboard so could be orig.

There is some info on 2 cm rds on the net IIRC....

Hi Rogerd
I think the boxes are original...
The first left is a 2cm Panzergranate The spur o. Zerl AP/T and the red tip indicates that the use was with temperatures over 25 °
the second is a normal AP/T
Of course the color red is the color of the tracer.....
but to be sure that they are of AP/T you should see the bottom of the bullet
the last, is 2cm SPRENGGRANATPATRONE but to be more sure of the model should see the bottom and the written
I hope I was helpful

Brecht cardboard tubes are used in to transport them in the amo-cases
in the Diekirch museum there is a relative complete amo -case on display there.
