Hi there, I recently purchased this inert cutaway projectile at auction and would appreciate help identifying the projectile designation and the weapon that fired it.
Fuze markings:
The only remaining marking on the projectile body is a stamped “7”. Any help identifying the projectile and its intended weapon system would be greatly appreciated.
This is my first time posting on BOCN, so apologies if the photos are unclear or if I’ve missed any information that would help with identification.
- Approximate calibre: 75–76 mm
- Overall length: approximately 340 mm including fuze
- Flat base
- Copper driving band with a groove around its centre. The projectile appears unfired
Fuze markings:
- FUZE PD M48 DUMMY
- LOS FMD 8
- AZ.DM 11 0.05s (FUZE PD)
The only remaining marking on the projectile body is a stamped “7”. Any help identifying the projectile and its intended weapon system would be greatly appreciated.
