20mm ammo questions... some help please

[Rogerd]

Hi to all,

I have some 20mm ammo that I just bouth from a collection. I don't know much about this kind of ammo. I just want to keep them with my flak related items.

So here are some questions.

Picture one: What is the difference between the yellow and black bullets?

picture 2 and 3: What kind of 20mm ammo is this? Never saw it. Is it also used for flak? Are the shells and bullets matching all correct?

[Rogerd]

Picture 5, 6, 7: Is this German ammo? What kind?

And what would be the value of these (I do NOT sell them, I'll keep these in my collection) just curious.


So if anybody has some info on these, welcome! Thanks!!

On the 2 cm, short case are aircraft, long are flak. Fused screw off heads are "mine" rds and the solid are AP..... tons of info just like on all the other German collectables. Hope this helps some...

Thanks BOB!

AP is anti-personnel I suppose? I did a search on 20mm ammo but could not find much info on the forum...

Is the last one also german?

Thanks!

And what about the last ammo round? German? It has some unusual markings I think...

Pic 1:

Flak 30-38 20mm black ones are AP tracer, yellow are HE tracer.

Pic 2:

from left to right: Yellow and colourless shells are 15mm HE-tracer? for MG151/15, 20mm MG/ff HE-self destruct?, MG 151/20 AP-incendiary (Pho), Sorry but I don't know the last one.

I don't know the one on pics 5,6,7, but I much doubt it is german.

It would be important to show the rounds complete, together with the mesures, at least lenght of the case and exact calliber of the shell.
