Hello,

Found in France, maybe WW2 HE-T shells used by German (40mm bofors gun) with uncommon driving band.

Diameter : 40mm
Length : 132mm (small shell)
165mm (long shell)

The small one is painted green (original paint) with a red T.
First time I see these bands. Country ?

Regards

The driving band is that of the 40mm/L70 Bofors,
Best regards Weasel.

Thank you Weasel, I was focused on WW2.
Now I think my shells are post WW2. I didn't look in my modern documentation.
I have to identify the user country.
