7.5cm Sprgr34 + gain

[StielGr]

I have been on the search for some good 7.5cm Sprgr34 projectiles for a long time so it has got to the stage where I have to take what I can find.

This is my latest projectile and although the condition is good unfortunately all the original paint is gone.

Interesting along with the projectile came two very nice 7.5cm gains which you do not often see. Both have stamps on the base with a date on one. It is interesting to see the different thread arrangement. The other small fuze is just there for a size comparison.

If anyone has any pictures of their German 7.5cm HE projectiles I would love to see them please.

Thank you Waff.
I try and keep up with all the big boys on here but I think I am struggling a bit.

The 7.5cm Sprgr34 was fitted to the Pak40, KwK40 and the (short) KwK case.

Just curious. The gaine with the "rim" on it (the one on the right) - how is it installed in the projectile? I mean, how is the fuze fitted on top of it?

Very good question and now that I have checked for the first time the answer is......it doesn't even fit in. :stupido:
That's what I get for making assumptions without checking first. Have you any idea what projectile it might be from?

Those boosters look a little like off the 88's from here?

The gaine with rim is used the shells what have M50 fuze screws. For example in HE grandes 88mm (as Paul wrote), 10,5cm, 15cm, etc. Used with an adapter. The adapter's external screw is M50 and the internal screw is M33.
