3.7cm Pak Man. Kart.

[StielGr]

Can anyone help please.
I have seen a few of these Manverkartusche boxes but unfortunately all without the internal parts.

Does anyone have a complete example or even any pictures.

Many thanks

Hi PC

What does Manverkartusche mean?

Manverkartusche is a blank cartridge

The Man. Kart. was used both for the 7.5cm Ie.J.G.18 and the 3.7cm Pak as a blank cartridge.

An adaptor was required for the breech of the guns as the cardboard cartridge is a smaller calibre than the 3.7cm shell.

Lovely items SG.
Was that 3.7 blank used to fire the StielGranate?

No Waff, they used a normal 37 mm Cartridge with a plug made out of kurk or Bakelite. Ben

Thank you waff.
It took a long time to find the cardboard cartridge for my collection and then just out of the blue I found one for sale last week on another forum. One of those right place at the right time events.

@Ben
Have you got any of the adaptors or boxes in your collection?

Thanks

Ben
Is that a very bad cartridge box or a bad 3.7cm breech adaptor?

I have a picture of the adaptor. This one belongs to a collector from the Netherlands.
If my information is correct there is also a muzzle attachment involved.

I know these are rare items but I was hoping that our mainland European members would be able to help with more pictures or info.
