This was the first ever produced specific anti-tank rifle made. The rifle was made due to the 7.92 mm K bullet no longer being effective against the British tanks introduced to the battlefield in 1916. The armour piercing hardened steel cored 13.2 x 92mm (.525-inch) semi-rimmed cartridge is normally called the 13mm T–Gewehr (Tank-Gewehr). These examples are headstamped P (Polte, Werke Magdeburg) T67 '(T' represents Tank-Gewehr, and '67' denotes the case alloy composition of 67% copper, 33% zinc) and 7 18 (July 1918) or 6 18 (June 1918). The armour piercing bullets have had a cut across the base of the bullet casing and the hardened steel core to destabilise them if ever they were fired so they are collectable without a licence. This deactivation cannot be seen when the bulleted round is displayed. No licence is required to possess these inert rounds in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Three 3 examples are available as per photo priced at £145 each. The price includes UK delivery. Sn. O 1010
