Identified A WW1 German 13.2mm AT Round Today

[albayo]

I was at a pawn shop in Moncton today and the owner asked me to identify a cartridge he had in inventory.
It had a rimmed brass case dated 1918 and didn't have any other markings to identify it as being Commonwealth.
He removed the projectile inserted a 50 Cal projectile and it slipped inside the neck easily so it was larger than 50.
I told him to look up German anti-tank bolt action rifle and it was probably the 13.2mm AT round.

I was in a few months and looked at the ammo he had on display and noticed something different about one of them.
I asked to look at it and the 50 cal sitting beside it. It turned out it was a Boys .55 round as it had the magnum belt around the base. The guy always gives me good deals, and I help him pay the bills.

I have one of the 13.2mm rounds on my shelf here in my office. Pretty neat!

There is or was one in my town back years ago but missing the stock.
I couldn't get info on who owned it.

I got a couple as well....from the wife's great great uncle's "war box". Had his bandolier, hat, couple pins, and 2 of these casings in it.

If any of you guys ever find a bolt for the Mauser 1918 Tankgewehr 13mm antitank rifle, let me know!! Or if you have a spare cartridge... ��

Just checked them...one has an unfired primer. They look boxer primed as well. Pic beside a 7rm for comparison.

Mine is missing the primer, so I can state that it IS Boxer primed.

Don't have one of the 13.2 TuF yet but do have two of it's descendents.
The Germans knocked the rim off, cut an extractor groove, and necked it down to 8mm in time for WW2.
