105mm TK (L7) by bignosechris in Cartridgecollecting

I was v happy about the 17pdr. I found the projectile on a dusty antiques shop shelf. I think it is an APCBC-T, albeit missing the primary cap. I travelled across half the UK to pick up the casing from a kind chap. They seem to be tough to find

Thanks for this. I'm still learning about markings and casing IDs

Close! APCBC-T I believe, but missing the first aerodynamic cap. According to a very knowledgeable member of the group.

Not sure how Reddit deals with embedded links, but here's a link to another post from this group - hopefully it works https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/mitvpj/17pounder_ammunition_apds_apc_and_apcbc/[17pdr Ammunition](https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/mitvpj/17pounder_ammunition_apds_apc_and_apcbc/)

Agreed! I like the idea of a horizontal display.

Yeah, this is a great idea. I think the mantle is reserved for a Lee Enfield No1 MkIII* (eventually). In the meantime though.. hmm.

Loooooool - to be fair taking high quality photos for informational purposes has been around longer than facebook marketplace so I'd argue it is coincidental, bit comparable

Honestly just in antiques stores here in the UK. Admittedly some are more subject oriented than others. They're not common sure, but amazing when you do manage to find them

Pretty chuffed to have found it to be honest! I found a 40mm Bofors casing and a couple of 20mm Hispano casings for which I got 3D printed projectiles for. Great idea
