A few shell cases


Recommended Posts

Here are a couple of shell casings that we have in the house

The big one is a 105mm shell casing dated 1980 on the base.

The smaller one is a 20mm shell casing that i put in the picture to show just how big the 105mm casing is.

Here's my 20mm cannon shell casing Stamped B.M.A.R.C. 1940 20mmIZ.

 

"BMARC" = ( British Manufacturing and Research Co. ) of Springfield Rd Grantham Lincolnshire. A subsidiary of Hispano-Suiza.

developed and produced the 20mm Aircraft Cannon, at the time of the Battle of Britain in 1940 it's 20mm cannons were only just

starting to be fitted and arm the Spitfire and Hurricane Aircraft.

By 1943 the RAF had converted entirely to cannon armament for it's fighters, the mark IZ not sure if this donates the type of

cordite/powder fill used or the type of bullet head used ie - Tracer ?.post-3823-0-04937800-1427811142_thumb.jpg
