Hello Mick,

Do you mean the Pzgr 40 APCR "Arrowhead" armor piercing projectile? The Pzgr 40 went into a standard 6331ST case but the crimp was approx. 25mm down from the top of the case.

Or the 37x94 case? That is the typical Kriegsmarine 3,7 cm sub-cal.

Hi Steve, its basically a 37x94mm sub cal, I just cant find any reference to it, I have seen two complete rounds in the past but unsure of the length of the case as I did not have a close look at the two rounds
