BOCN Guess what it is

[pzgr40/42]

As for some other clues: think: truppenversuch/experimental and be aware the round is missing a (crucial) part and one of this sites most active contributors has an avatar that, loosely, relates to this round.

 

[pzgr40/42]

Hangarman, no, but you're on to the right part of thr 3rd reichs armed forces !!

Part of the projectile for a 7.7cm AP Round (Davis Principle) for single shot aircraft weapon SG 113A?

Looks like Tim could have nailed this one.........if I'm not mistaken........is the crucial part the rear skirt that appears to have rusted away? I've never seen one of these with such a flat base?
Dave.

 

[pzgr40/42]

Tim has the bullseye !!! (and a lot faster than I had expected).



The missing part is the forward flange (and all of the "cartridge bits" naturally ).
So far I've mostly encountered The Pz b version in pics and real life, and few enough of them!! This would have been a live round.

Dave, of course you are the member whose avatar I was referring to. Iff I'm not mistaken your avatar refers to the "counterpart" of the SG113 designed to combat bombers, a single shot, recoilless weapon firing an aluminum/light alloy HE/Minen round, correct ?

Over to you Tim

Regards,

Menno.

Looks like I'm going to have to make this one a bit more clear, is this any help? This is the other end of it.

SD2 arming pin?

 

[reccetrooper]

Arming part (don't know the correct name) from a butterfly bomb.

 

[SG500]

SD2 arming pin?

Yes that's right glevum. Its one from a 70 fuze. The one on the 70 has a tapered lower part, the ones on the 67 and 70 have a much broader part at the base.
Over to you glevum.
Dave.
