Here is my 47mm rounds.These are quite rare i think,atleast the Obuhov ones.

Upper one was used in Somua S35 tank by germans in Lapland.Pictured round was lifted from lake
nearby wartime tank depot.It is in original condition,nothing repainted.

Red one is 47mm Obuhov(russian Hotchkiss 47x376 M1885 L/40 QF lisence copy) HE projectile
Lower one is also 47mm Obuhov,APHE-T projectile.
