Czech 9cm vz28

[Burney Davis]

I have this Czech case, 90mm x 78mm. The only information that I can find on line refers to this as 8cm. Is this the same case, just different nomenclature?

This is a pretty rare Czech 9 cm model 1928 howitzer shell case and measures 90x78R100. Nice find! Not cut down.

Hi Hoeksel , Burney Davis .
my opinion ...
9cm (old) ammo M.17 , vz.19 etc..

Next generation upgrade cca 1928 :
9cm Nábojnice vz.28 (case ) + 9cm Ostrá mina 17/28 (...fuse vz.28)
: ammo of 9cm Minenwerfer M.17 (9cm Minomet vz.17) ,system Skoda.

Next generation upgrade cca. >1933
9cm Ostrá mina vz.33 ... (upgrade body + Minen fuse vz.33 )
: ammo of 9cm Minenwerfer M.17 (system Skoda)

1918 -1939 service of Cechoslovak army ..

That really is interesting AKON, so for a minenwerfer, not Howitzer. I'm surprised they were using such things up until WW2.
