Here is a Czech 3.7cm capped round.

Any ideas what the nomenclature of the round and fuze it used? Also what the marking on the base stands for?

Length: 378MM
Length of Projo: 139MM
Cartridge Length: 266MM
Rim: 48MM

Hi Joe,
the round is called 3,7 cm OPGN vz.34 - ostry pancerovy granatovy naboj vzor 1934
The fuze is PKZ-25 - factory designatnation, ostrý dnový zapalovač 3,7 cm vz. 34 - military designation
The Z in the circle - it is realy a barell with rifling - is the factory logo of Zbrojovka Brno - later Waffenwerke Brünn

Do you happen to have an external image of this item? All I have is the museum's cutaway.

And thanks for the help.
