By coincidence I was just pulling out some similar photos for a presentation I am giving in a few weeks. This one and its brothers had an interesting history. They were found when excavating graves in a church cemetery. Reportedly more projectiles were seen in the bottom of the graves, but religious requirements were that the bodies had to be in the ground by sundown, so the others were left in the hole. No identifying marks, but there was no doubt that they were Italian.

Hello,

Fert, what is the nomenclature of this Italian Shell (I assume 75mm shrapnel) ?

Regards

 

[fert]

Hello,
correct, 87mm shrapnel
regards

 

[MINENAZ16]

I ask you about the caliber because I see a different head shape, maybe a shorter body and larger gap between thin twins bands.
Could it be a 75mm as it's mentionned when you download the photo of the shell.

Regards

Hello,
I'm sorry but I answered in hurry and I didn't note measurement.
No dubt it's a 75B shrapnel.
