Here is a another Czech made 37x268 casing but with a less common headstamp - maybe someone can explain it.
I am going to speculate the markings indicate export ammunition intended for use with the KPUV VZ.37 anti-tank guns sold to Yugoslavia.
Can anyone definitively identify the markings?
This casing came with a German 1940 dated AP projectile.
Just take a look at this beautiful and all original Czech/German Vz 34 high explosive round that Pat (witchitaslumlord) allowed me to procure from his Show of Shows haul. The fuse is steel vs the original brass. It is fitted for a tracer. The primer is not like any Czech primer that I have seen before; is it an electric primer for tank use? Notice the case is marked for antitank gun and tank use. How is that possible if the primer is electric? All the other Vz 34 cases that I have for the antitank gun are fitted with percussion primers. It is hard to believe that this was hiding somewhere in the US all these years. I have been on the hunt for such a round for a long time. Thank you Pat!
