Identification (old thread)

Hello,

I found this old thread, now closed : http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/76628-7-7cm-or-75mm

I discovered this shell years ago but I didn't know BOCN at that time !

I began in my Eod job and I took pictures and mesures too quickly (whats a pity)

We made an x-ray and noticed that it was a star shell with head screwed. The internal agencement is exactly the same as German WW1 10.5cm Leuchtgeschoss.

But I'm still looking for informations about this shell (wich gun ?) because is different as the rare star 7.7cm known (no crimp groove, driving band to higher).

Regards.
