Greetings
I have a 75mm cartridge case ...brass with a steel base.
Length is 190mm
Base diameter is 86.8mm
The only markings i can see on the slightly corroded base are a " V " and a " 6 "
My data base lists 2 cartridges 75 x 190R
One is for Schneider Mle 1919 & Mle 1928 mountain guns.
But rim diameter is 89mm so that doesn't fit
The other 75 x 190R is for a German FK L/24 .
Sadly the rim diameter is not given.
I am wondering if my case is for this gun.
Having a steel base adds weight to my speculation.
So can anyone tell me the rim diameter for thr FK L/24 case?
Alpini or another expert on German ammunition....
Thanks very much
