Hello,

I found pictures (internet) of a 47mm german made round.

I think it's a shot made by Germans for captured French AT gun.

The shell looks like the french "boulet Mle 35" but with a tracer and FES driving bands. (without cap on the picture). The original french shot is made without tracer and with two copper (small) bands.

At work I found a French "boulet Mle 36 (shot with magnesium ballistic cap)" with the same modifications made by Germans (2 FES bands and a tracer) and exactly the same markings on the base.

Regards
