Hi everyone

[woodbine]

Does anyone know what this shell is? its an inch and a half wide by six and a half high,am i right in thinking it was for a pom-pom gun many thanks woodbine.

Hi, and welcome to the forum..... For ID'ing stuff its good if you can give good measurements of the size of the case (height, width, neck size) and the same with any projectile measurements. Also, taking any pictures of the markings on the base of the case or on the projectile are helpful.

It looks like a 37mm Pom-Pom cannon round... I am sure the experts will pipe up and give you a correct answer....:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

3,7 cm

Hello Woodbine,
You have a german 3,7 cm Gr with 3,7 cm Gr Z
The two bands will indicate a shell for AA artillery (max velocity)

3,7 cm

Sorry, it's not the 3,7 cm GrZ fuze, but well a base fuze.
This kind of shell, with a incendiary filling, was initially used agains ballons.
