Marking on german 3,7cm Pak 36

Well-Known Member
Hello,
Can anyone tell me why the different types of markings exist on German 3.7cm Pak shells?
Different periods? or manufacturers?

The 33 is the explosive filler.

The sets of 3 stamps are just different styles of waffenamt markings. They chance in style from pre-war to war period.

From memory the non eagle stamps may be for export projectiles.

Yes, the first two have Weimar Stick Style Eagle WaA's...

The third are "pre-WaffenAmt" markings...very early 98k's also use the "Pre-WaffenAmt" markings....
