Default 25 Pr HE shells

Guys,

It's fantastic to meet people who has all this information.
I am interesting in the markings on all the 25 Pr ammo boxes
(shells and cases), the HE and AP shells.
Also markings on the C267 cases box with 2 covers(for 4 cases on each
side) as you can see on the picture.
The most important now is the design of the driving band on the HE shells (and AP shells),so I can complete my 4 home-made HE shells.

cheers

Hi Herman
I have a scan of the info and photo of the HE shell but it is copyright and I don't know if I can put it on the forum. PM me your email address and I will send it directly to you.
Barry

finaly mystery solved. i saw about 5 miles of the case that you showed in the pictures above (left side), there must have been 5000 or more of them. they are used as center dividers along the main military highway in the desert in the mid east. i thought they were British but didn't know what they were.

well that's one way to recycle
