This one's for a make over ,got the choice of a brass or steel case,the steel case has a few holes and also needs a bit of attention

Nice looking fuze on that one. Seeing your other work, it should turn out great. Cheers, Bruce.
 
That woud be a: 7,5 cm K. Gr. rot Pz. (Kanonengranate rot Panzer), not a 7,5 cm Pzgr 39. Nice piece though, not very common.
 
Here's the 2 cases, the better one I thought was brass (I bought this along time ago and has sat hidden behind another round ) is actually brass washed steel and apart from a tiny hole and 2 areas of corrosion is in quite good shape .The other came with the projectile needs a de-rust , few holes filled ,and a paint job , I've never attempted to get a German steel case back to anything like a reasonable state ,so watch this space.The charge bag was found inside the good case ,I didn't know I even had one

Nice restoration, but the markings are needing a bit of adjustment. The white stencelling should be in red and there should be a red band of 15 mm width just above the driving band.
