hello, again nice italian rounds.
A 77/28 shrapnel round. Case it's the original austro hungarian 8cm M5 case cutted to 230mm (same used on austro hungarian 8cm M16) with italian 1935 marking. Shell it's austrian 8cm M13 shrapnel reworked to match with italian fuze mod 906/17 (only time fuze). Color code it's the 1931 standard, grey shell, with dark red stripe above driving band (means shrapnel) and the red ogive (loaded shell)
any other pics please?

Hello,
anyone knows if the german made round it's for the russian 76,2mm gun?

The primer hole looks much to large for a 76,2 mm case. I also wonder which calibre this cartridge has? If the calibre would be in 75 - 76,2 mm range, the length would be around 520 mm.

about the czech, could it be the 6.6cm vz30? it's possible to know the lenght of the case please?
best regards

Data on the round is not real clear, they were not that concerned about data on the case. Data reads as follows:

Over all length - 277mm
exposed - 195mm
cartridge - 395mm
Rim - 74mm
 
Hello Fert,

-The Italian fuze shown (used on 105 pancani), is it the fuze called M12 ?

-I assume the first shell shown is the HE version of Czech Skoda 6.6cm ?
