Possible Russian 130-mm Casing

[Doug]

Hi

The Canadian War Museum has two casings - possible Soviet/Russian 130-mm.

Markings stencilled on the side of first casing:
No.2
130
9/7 41/87-25
12/1 20/87-25
25-87-53
Marking Stamped on the base
46
53
63/87
Marking on the primer
II 5
54
15-87

Marking stencilled on the side of the second casing
130
23/129/85 - 542
029-86-75
The base and primer are two damaged to read markings

rim diameter - 185mm
length - 854mm matches M47
mouth on both are damages but between 135-150mm

Can any one confirm the ID and advise meaning of the markings and provide the actual dimensions? Or advise what it is?

Thanks

Doug

Russian Shell Cases.

These look like 152-mm Russian Howitzer cases. Measure the open end to check the approx diameter should be around or near 6-inch mark. Ive got two that were brought back from Iraq as the Iraqi army used these. They weigh a ton and have similar markings but havent clue as to what the case stencilling means though must be lot numbers, type of filling and date of manufacture etc. Regards, Tim.

It looks like a 130mm case to me (I have 2), and the 130 written on the side of the case states that each case is for a 130mm gun.
