I have had for some time these 2 cases in very bad condition. Maybe somebody on this forum has more information?
The long case is more "common", I have seen several examples. According an acknowledged collector they are 12,5 mm and found on experimental ranges.
The shorter case I have only seen my example, it is supposed to be a Czech 13 mm AT experiment.
Dimensions (for as far as they are accurate with these damaged cases):
12,5x165R22
13,0x133R22
Of course no head stamp, that would make life way to easy ;-).

Ciao, the case on the right is corroded. It seems to have been underground, do you know the place where it was unearthed?

Not 100 % sure. Apparantly the 12,5 mm cases are all found on a well known German range (do no remember which one). I have no information on the 13 mm except that the seller told me it was a 13 mm Czech.

Thanks! I also got a copy of the original Czech drawing for the 12 mm case (and an unknown 15 mm) thanks to DJ.

Interessante la soluzione del bossolo bimetallico su una lunghezza simile
Il terzo è bimetallico con alluminio?
Ps: la canna soffiava ancora dopo 10 minuti che la palla aveva impattato

Con una canna di quella lunghezza e le velocità che volevano ottenere il proiettile per l'attrito fuoriusciva al calor bianco, praticamente non avevano necessità di tracciante!
