British Proof Round 30mm

[Mauser]

Hi Guys

Im guessing this is what it says it is on the projectile "PROOF" stenciled in white. The number " D BM AR242" is neatly stamped into the projectile head.

The base of the round has these markings " BM 084 96 " with the primer marked "610 - 96 - BM0 "

Would i be right in thinking that this round would have been used to commision "Proof test " 30mm weapons ?

I know its not ww2 but any info would be much appricated, also can any one give me some more info on the markings.

Many thanks

Mark

I don't know about the markings etc but I 'think' the round is a 30mm x 170 Oerlikon KCB cannon round. I have one with a blue TP projectile/green lacquered steel case which looks pretty much the same expect for the projectile.
