Hi When painting crew for the various artillery and anti-tank guns I always like to paint the shells with the correct markings. Some types are easy to find online, others, very elusive. I have built up a small collection of images for some rounds for reference, but many I just can't seem to find. I am looking for a website or book that shows what each type of round for WWII artillery and anti-tank guns looked like. Any pointers or info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Tony Williams, who has perhaps the most extensive private collection of WW2 ammunition in the world (certainly in the UK), hosts a website and a forum to discuss and showcase ammo from WW2. quarryhs.co.uk His photo gallery:
quarryhs.co.uk/tankammo.html His forum:
link He is also the author of several articles and a book or two. He's a very personable fellow -- I have corresponded with him several times on various fora. I expect you can find most all that you would want on his website, but if not, you can ask in the forum. Hope that helps. -Mark

Ah … In the pic … those look like Small Arms rds. … Not FA or AT … OK. So you like this one better?
If it was fired by a gun in WW2, even experimentally, the odds are good that Tony has a picture of it. -Mark
