47mm Nordenfelt

Howdy BOCN,

Picked up a 47mm Nordenfelt projectile, minus fuze. It has the typical early copper coating & some small markings as pictured.

Has anyone any information on this type of projectile, what fuze it used & what cart case it would have used please?

Thanks.

Regards Ozzi.

Thanks for the photos. The 47mm Nordenfelt has escaped my attempts to find info on it and your photos are the first I have seen. I have examples of 38,42 and 57mm rounds but not hide nor hair of the 47. Also, your projectile is nose fuzed, all other I have seen are base fuzed. Thanks again, the Otter
