INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a very scarce unfired Polish 1937 dated anti tank round for the wz.35 anti tank rifle used by the Polish army during WW2. The weapon was made in 1935 but was kept secret until mobilization in 1939. The ammunition was unusual in that it did not have a penetrating core but a lead core and relied on disabling the tank not through penetration but by the very high velocity causing spalling or splatter on the inside of the tank thereby disabling crew members. This is a round made for the wz.35 Polish anti tank rifle in 1937 and is headstamped N 67 3 37 (date) and the Polish eagle. The round has a brass cartridge case and is fitted with a brass percussion primer. The nickel jacketed bullet is held in by a heavy ring crimp at the case mouth. After the fall of Poland, the German army captured large numbers of wz. 35 rifles and gave it the designation Panzerbüchse 35 (polnisch) (PzB 35(p)). During WW2, the Germans manufactured their own ammunition for this anti tank rifle. This is an early Polish manufactured round for the rifle. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess inert rounds in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2289
