Here we go with another one. This is 75 x 228mm high and shrapnel. The base is marked with P1 and the fuze P2. There is also an 'Ex marked on the top of the fuze. Over to you guys.

it's a 75 mm Erhardt shrapnel shell (Rheinmetall). I tend to Norway again because there are not many countries which used the "Ex" stamp and Norway was using the Erhardt shrapnell = 7,5 cm Granatkardæsk M.01 (I hope it's the right word :-/ ).

I wonder why it has traces from milling work on the base, normally the base was turned to its flat shape and not milled.
