Polish Made Projectiles for the French m1897 75mm Cannon

[M8owner]

I have a few 75mm Mle 1915 high explosive projectiles that have come out of Poland. Most appear to be French made with "SC" on them which I believe means Schneider made them in France. However, Here is one that is definitely Polish - repainted and rebanded. Pk = National Bullet Ammunition Plant in Warsaw that made most of the Polish Wz 15 projectiles. I have have two with Wz 15 clearly marked on the fuse adapters. Both have original paint. On one, there are no other markings that I can make out. The other has SC on it, so it is a strange combination, but the paint matches on the two parts. I also have one Wz 99 and two Wz 18 fuses to go with them. The "FA" on the Wz 18 fuses = Factory Ammunition - another Polish ordnance plant, but I do not know its location.

Here is a photo of all of my Polish 75mm ammunition.

Not sure myself what FA is, but this overview might help.

A Polish collector just told me: Fabryka Amunicji nr 1 in Skarzysko, Poland, german code HASAG kam.

The Polish 75mm ammunition web site shows the code for Skarzysko as Sk.

I also notice the document above does not have ST in a circle for Starachowice; they made most of the 75mm cases.

I just noticed that my Wz99 fuse was made by ST.
