Japanese 75-MM

[jvollenberg]

I am looking for information on this round. The museum has it as a Japanese 75-MM HE round.

Length is 304-MM W/Adapter and 294-MM W/O Adapter

My USNBD book shows a similar profile listed as a Type 97 HE semi-steel. Used in the Type 41 mountain gun. It notes the OAL (less fuze) as 302mm. Driving band - 10mm.

I have been looking for one of those for years - have a case just waiting for it.

Hello,

Type 94 could match







Type 97 seems to has different colors and less streamlined.

Upon further delving, I believe Mr. Mineaz16 is correct. A Type 94 it is. Color coding, mostly. And maybe verify the explosives cavity shape/size to pin it down.

Type 94


Type 97
