Help identify anti tank round?

[dominonlexy]

4457.1 I've had this round in garage for years and decided I'd finally try to figure out exactly what it's from.
From what I've looked at I believe it to be an anti-tank 57mm (6 pounder?)
What Iv'e been unable to find at all is reference to the numbers/ markings/ stamped into the copper band.
57MM M76 1 43 AK -1-2
This is stamped into the band and the "AK" is actually a sloped A that is run into the K, like a logo of sorts?
Any help is appreciated in advance!

Hi I think you will need to put up some picks but anything with an M prefix is often from the usa.

Almost certainly American.

Very much as dogdog states especially the stamped driving band as that is a very American thing to do-one of the few countries that mark their bands !

Would love to see some pictures of it for a positive identification please.

Sure its not M86?? M70 is APS and M86 is APC.

Lovely condition items.

What a pair of beauties they are (no I am not being rude!) definately American and the taller one is an APCBC/T which is not very common over here.
