Tony Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 My son has bought his first piece of militaria with his own pocket money, it's the rather large bullet pictured.Can anyone tell me what is, A/A maybe? It has about a 25mm diameter.ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 If the case measures 194mm then it looks like it's a French Hotchkiss anti-tank round.Kind regards,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyE Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 It may be of interest that the British Army purchased a number of these equipments at the beginning of the war and inherited a few more from those the French managed to get back from Dunkirk. I do not think they ever saw any operational use but were used mostly for training.RegardsTonyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
