Danish Cartridge

[jvollenberg]

I am looking for information on this round. It is listed as Danish
186-MM Long
23-MM Diameter
The fuze is 34-MM Long.

I am trying to find out if it is Danish, and the nomenclature of the round and fuze.

Any information would be great.

Joe,

There's one like yours with some info on the IAA website: http://iaaforum.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2060

It was made on contract by Kynoch, of Birmingham, in 1938. "EST" stands for Explosive Shell Tracer.

Any ideas on the fuze for it?

And does the round have a nomenclature?

If you mean the round in general (rather than any specific loading) then 23mm Madsen is normal. It may also be referred to as 23 x 106 by collectors.
