Hello

So, it is the 7.7 with fuze Dopp Z 96 ?

Yes, I can remember i saw one, one day in a museum. But i'm sorry : I'm not sure about the colour (perharps grey.. like a little mouse) :tinysmile_shy_t:

Thanks pascal is there any more letters other then the ST.
Andy

hi

As I undestand, "St." mean steel bullet. If there are lead bullets, I think there is no letters.

 

[Andysarmoury]

Ok Thank you Pascal
Cheers
Andy

Perharps you're lucky : I foud this picture I took few years ago, at the Museum Verdun.

It's... Blue.

 

[Andysarmoury]

Regards

Some really useful information on this thread. With regard to Pascal's pic, 18th Jan, 2009, does anybody know what the white band signifies? I recall having seen another photo of a 77 similarly marked.
