German 37mm Flak 18 Practise Projectile

[Vasco Da Gama]

Attached are a set of photos of what I believe is a German WW2 37mm Flak 18 practise projectile. The length is 128mm and stamped on the body above the driving band is Flak 18 and 635g. Higher on the body are the remains of long arrow, a marking which I understand denotes a practise projectile. The base plug is marked on the inside with dsj and 1941. I would be interested in confirmation of my identification and any information on the use of these projectiles.

Hi

37mm ???

the arrow means that the projectile is inert. But it is no practise projectile, it is a "Anschussgeschoss" which means proof projectile. You will find it in the ammunition manual for the 3,7 cm Flak 18.

Many thanks, you learn something new every day. Sorry for the French AP 75mm pictures on the post, too fast with the buttons! Honestly just too stupid to use a computer.
