Hi to all menbers. my name is jose juan and Im new in this forum.
I want to ask for help to identification of this shell of 37 m/m diameter and 93,15 of lenght. I think it may be British origin (I suppose). I was loaded In a case of 37 x 382 R SK C-30 but I believe is a mistake manufactured for somebody.
Thanks

It is likely of Spanish manufacture for a 37x94 case loading. WW1 or later era. It is a copy
of a Vikers type. Does the base unscrew ?
 
The installation was done in Arsenals Navy to make them serve Dummy AA guns C/30 reached Spain with German aid plan BAR torpedo boats. I got two hands on a base, a fully chromed, both with pods Flakmarine.
I guess the projectiles are for naval 37x94R Spaniards.

El montaje se hizo en Arsenales de la Armada para hacerlos servir de Dummy de los caones AA C/30 llegado a Espaa con el plan de ayuda Alemana BAR en lanchas torpederas. Yo consegui dos en mano en una base, uno totalmente cromado, los dos con vainas Flakmarine.
Supongo los proyectiles son Espaoles para los 37x94R navales .
