15mm MG 39 Round

[Vasco Da Gama]

For general interest I thought it worth posting a couple of pictures of a 15x101 round that has been in my collection for a few years. The round is in good condition and the reddish varnish coating appears to be original, the base markings are: 15mm 39st 41 3b IV and maker eej. Alongside the MG 39 round is a standard 15x96 MG 151 HE round and the British 15x104 BESA round. My understanding is that both the BESA and the MG 39 share the same Czech parent.

The AP projectile is not the correct one for this case.

Thanks for your response EOD, could you enlighten us as to what the correct projectile may be? A picture or a reference would be particularly useful.
