37 mm Projectiles - Identification Help

[John P]

Good Afternoon All,

Can anyone help me with positive ID of these 2 projectiles.




Any info would be appreciate, especially if the fuze (time combustion) cab be identified.

Thanks

MINENAZ16, many thanks for the identification. Do you have any other information on the Russian item?

Hello,
As far as I know the russian ww1 37mm HE is from a Hotchkiss design.

Here are a few more, but not all of them. Missing are copper band time fuzed and single
band solid shots in brass & copper. Also wood drill & blank and two later types and a canister.
Also could be included are the American made 1pr for the Mclean gun 37x136 for 1916 & 17
and the post ww1 altered 37x94 rounds of the same make. You are lucky to have that
time fuzed example as your first one.

Could you think about us poor colorblind people and change the color of the caption ? (I can only read the two on the left...)

Thanks !

Hope this is better. My descriptions are basic.

Sorry to bump this old tread. Could someone get me some more information about these Russians 37mm hotchkiss / pompom?

The fuze I cannot find anywhere else. Also is the body litle strange, the brass driving band (12 mm width) does not have these grooves.
Are these heads a match for these shells?
There is only one small marking on the steel head... nothing else...

I wonder how these ended up here in Belgium... Maybe there is a French connection?

The two on the right are German, not Russian . The base is separate and may unscrew, The German cases for these have no
crimp marks as opposed to the AA 37mm types. These are for late war trench guns of several designs -

Thank you for your feedback! Looks spot on with the last picture.
I did not know of this type of german heads. Indeed there are two holes in the bottem.

So this was not a correct match.
