3,7cm Stielgranate 41

[Jose__]

Hello everybody! just grabbed this stielgranate 41, where the second base fuze should be located?

Please see pic.
There are (were) two kl Zdlg 34 above the fuze. Upper one facing up to the AZ5075 the second down to the BdZ 5130.

Found a new house for the stielgranate!

Unless that's a trick of the camera, It doesn't look like the lid would close in the third picture.
Is the AZ5075 still screwed into the nose (I assume that would have been supplied separately), or did the stielgranate disassemble some more ?

Can someone post a photo/photos of the cartridge used to propel the 3.7cm Stielgranate 41 and possibly show how the case is marked to designate it for that purpose? Also, which gun/guns could fire it? Thanks in advance, John

camera trick i guess eheh , you can close the lid quite easily, having at least 1cm of space from the projectile tail.

Was used with the 3,7 cm Pak and the 3,7 cm Flak. When used with the 3,7 cm Flak the flash hider had to be removed.

Cartridge case of the 3,7 cm Pak was marked "Stiel-Gr" in white paint on the head.

Nice container Jose.

Does in have the internal nose holder in the bottom? Often they have been removed.

All you need now is the blank firing case holder. The steel bit is near impossible to find and originally it had cardboard tubes attached. The cardboard tubes are like rocking horse shit if you understand that saying.
