75mm Rheinmetall / Krupp.

[JulienCD68]

Hello, Here are two objects that I would like to identify.

Height under spindle: 175mm / 185mm
Caliber: 75mm
Fuze with graduations up to 40

The marking of the one on the left is atypical.

THANKS.

Another, without a saw cut in the belt.
Fuze with graduations up to 56 (Krupp)
Case marked Schneider with curious symbol.

The shell case and 1 projectile is Greek, recognized by the sigma sign "Σ". Can't say more, because projectiles is not my field. Shell cases are but I will need dimensions. I am intrigued by the "arrow" and "Y-like" markings on the shell case. I recently had a thread on these marks but no reply yet.

Hello,
First left shell : I have the same 7.5cm shrapnel made by Rheimetall with the same fuze graduated to 40 made of light alloy. 193mm without fuze.
Same dimensions as German ww1 7.5cm shrapnel Krupp (with brass fuze grad. to 56). So maybe for same gun.
Your markings look Greek (German export).
Rheinmetall stamp on my shell :

Hello, could you measure your case? I suspect a 75x118

 

[JulienCD68]

Good morning,
The case is 118mm high.
The widest base is 88mm.

I suspect fert is right and I also expected that shell case dimensions ;-). Case is maybe for a 7,5 cm Krupp L/14 M1904 mountain gun (uses the same shell case) but your case is Schneider. Could be Schneider made the case for a Krupp gun for Greece.

Good morning,
Two other 75mm Krupp shells.

The one mounted on the case has a belt with groove. It is marked Berndorf (Austria?).
The other shell has a smooth belt.

Hello,
even if the case is the same height, you will notice that it is bottle necked. 835 mark classifies it as a Krupp 7.5cm M13 L/14 mountain gun initially intended for export.

These shells found in Italy used by Austro Hungarians.

The case with Krupp code 835 for Bulgaria has a rim diameter of 87 mm while the first case you show (often found with Krupp code 40 for Turkey and China) has a rim diameter of 88 mm. I connect both cases to Krupp.
