Hi,

Can anyone identify the projectile below in the picture please. I want to have an idea of what is is before I buy it. The picture is all I got at this moment.

Thanks,

Sorry. Seems like I'm the only one able to see the picture. I attached it properly this time and added a second one of an unknown projectile.

Any hep ID'ing both would be fantastic.

Thanks!

Best regards,

I got one more picture of the big projectile's base and the approximate dimensions of the smaller one that is mounted on the plate: 16cm long and about 5cm diameter (driving bands a little bigger than 5cm). I don't have more info for the ID, sorry.

Txs.,

Hi

seems to be a 7.5 cm german shell for the kwk42 gun (panther tank),
but you say 90mm ... can you please confirm 90mm ?

the little may be a Nordenfeld shell.

regards

Hi guys,

I don't have more info than what I gave. The 90mm was derived from the picture, but it could be that my screen deformed the width/lenght ratio. Looking at the numbers stamped in the bottom and the absence of typical 3 letter german manufacturer codes (the photographer said he took a picture of all markings) stamped in the projectile body, could it be that this is a French 75mm DCA M36?

Thanks for the help on the smaller projectile!

Best regards,
