Hi


37mm (37x94R) Boulet de Rupture Mle.1937

1940 dated APCR/Incendiary round for the SA18 L/21 tank gun. German designation 3,7cm PzGr.150(f)

Used in the Renault R35, Hotchkiss H35/39 and FCM-36 light tank

If you were the lucky winner make sure you look after the magnesium as if the air gets to it, it will go white and crumble.

There's a restored one here on ebay that shows what the core is like


Dave.

Yes I did get it from quickfire auction
 
Pretty sure thats the Mle 1937...... Eitherway, youve bought a cracking round.

Below is Mle1937 on left and Mle1935 on the right
