Unknown shells

Endel · May 12, 2009

Hi all,

I have some unknown shells for me, i hope someone here can help me.

The first one is 76mm shell and the length dimension 230mm. The shell body is quite thick. I think it will be WW1 shell?

...and the second one is 105mm and the length dimension 280mm. Seems like a some kind of shrapnel?

Thanks

Unknown 150mm empty shell. First idea was it is for s.I.G but length is 620mm it is taller than normal Gr. 38. Screw hole on the top is 60mm. Maybe it is earlier type (ww1)

Any ideas please?

first one is a russian 76,2 mm shell, but not sure which type exactly. Fuze thread is for russian time fuzes. Maybe a practise shell? The HE shells normally had an other fuze thread for percussion fuzes and for a shrapnell shell it must be thin walled with screwed in fuze adapter...
