3.7cm projectile

[earni74]

here is another 3.7cm projectile I cannot trace, I am assuming it is German WW2, with all the pitting on the projectile, any stamps there might have been are long gone.


Does anyone know the nomenclature


thanks

Hi MINENAZ16, its a different projectile from the last post, this seems to have a screw in base with tracer pocket, if it was practice, why the base is like it is

cheers

This is probably something I should have researched many moons ago, but Ive ended up learning the abbreviations verbatim rather than understanding the meaning.
Can someone confirm my understanding is correct or better still provide an abbreviation guide.

3,7cm - This bit I get
H-Pzgr - H=Hartkern
L´spur - L'spur is lechtspur = Tracer
Üb - is Practice (so in this case the projectile wont have a Tungsten core, more likely steel core or solid steel.
o. Zerl. - ??? - I'm guessing O = Ohne, without, so whats Zerl?
