iD this 75mm
- Thread starter FZG76
- Start date
Hello,
Many of these shells were found on the Atlantic Wall with lot of Skoda 76.5mm, Czech or Yugoslav (8cm A.Z. Gr. 30 (t) or 7.65cm Sprgr. 275 (j)), so maybe for the same gun.
I'm quite sure these shells are Yugoslav and used by German.
Some of these shells were found fitted with German case (very strange) with these markings : POLTE MAGDEBOURG 1916,
other with case with "GR" or "CR" (picture).
The shell is fitted with a French fuze 24-31mm Robin-Lejay 1899 and Yougoslav used this fuze (Ф 99).
The gaine is not a common french 36.1/47.5 mle 1897.
I made quikly a diagram with paint to help for ID (two bands, head screwed). Looks like the shell on the doc above.
Regards
