Pictured are two rounds for the German 75mm KwK38 L24 tank and Stug gun which have been in my collection for some years. The first is an early round with a brass case and is clearly fitted with a penetrating and ballistic caps. The second is a later steel case, brass washed. Sadly this case and projectile have seen better days, but this round in my experience is not that common. I have always assumed that the projectile has lost its caps along the way but I just wondered was there ever a pure shot version, without caps for this gun? The uncapped projectile is 220mm long, very glad to have your views.
