Identifying Army matériel

OK,you're close enough!

German 12.7cm star shell.

Your turn!

Ooh, that was like pulling teeth... that is a rare beast then. The only 12.7cm gun that I can find in the German arsenal referance (Small arms, Artillery & Special weapons of the Third Reich by Gander & Chamberlain) is the 12.7cm Abkommrohr kanone, a "sub-calibre training gun used with 38cm SK C/30"

 

What is this then, I know it is a grenade, but whose. Designation would be nice too.

Anti tank rifle round?

 

The engines had many problems because of the sand.

 

Anti tank, maybe, but not a rifle round

 

It's not that hard, or is it?

 

Anyone?
Or shall I just tell you the answer?

 

It's a Besa machine gun projectile.

Hey everybody, Andy's back. Thanks for ending that one. Now, not another shell I hope?

 

Looks like a Savage M 1907 or 1915. There was a Portuguese contract for these at one time - perhaps prior to WWI.
