Spaceinvader Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Hello all! This is my first post on the MCN, so I thought I would post a little something about the area of collecting I am interested in. I collect medium to large caliber inert ordnance, so .50 to really anything bigger if I can get my hands on it! Specifically in that area I love APFSDS-T and APDS ammunition, and 25x137mm rounds. Anyways, lets get on with some big stuff! I mainly get my inert stuff from the US and UK as there isnt much around in Canada but I have managed to find all my large caliber stuff right here in Canada. All of these are Canadian marked and used. Of course, all inert and safe! From left to right: WW2 17pdr (77mm) APDS projectile (looking for a case if anyone has some tips...) 1950's 3" .50cal casing 1960's 20pdr (84mm) casing (needs a primer and some markings put back on) 1950's 105mm M14 artillery casing 105mm Leopard 1 TK casing And last, and most interesting, a 4" blank, made of plastic, and made by Samsonite! Hope you all enjoy, I am sure I will be back with some more ordnance and maybe some of the few Canadian militaria items I have!

pylon1357 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Is your Leopard casing Canadian Marked?? Mine ( which came directly out of a Leo in AFG) has the British Broad arrow stamped into the base and a date of 1970. Honestly, this gave me pause for thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted March 6, 2016 Major General Share Posted March 6, 2016 Last time i was at Overloon museum in the Netherlands a couple of years ago,My old matey Ben Junier was telling me all about how the Leapord was actually on the drawing boards late war... Imagine that was a success? Might have been a game-changer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceinvader Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone! I will be posting some more stuff soon as I am getting a couple of medium and large caliber stuff soon from the UK. 40-120mm! Pylon, my 105mm casing is marked with Canadian serial numbers and designation, so they are Canadian made or atleast made for Canada. All of these casings have serial numbers that begin with "CA", and some casings say "C6" (the 105mm) or "C2" (on the 20pdr) which I think is the designations for the types of casings. PS, is medium caliber ordnance acceptable here? Got a decent amount of it! Edited March 6, 2016 by Spaceinvader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceinvader Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Great! I like medium caliber-large caliber stuff. Not much in the way of large caliber as I must find it in person most of the time, cant get it shipped. Once the package arrives I will post it up, some really special stuff in it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it my tent space for a few months, then decided to toss it in a box and ship it home. I was quite surprised it made it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
