39 - 1939
D - brass from [Schweizerische Metallwerke Dornach] - (99%)

40 wz 36 - 40 mm wzr [mark] 1936

I have not seen yet such a cartridge. Only blank projectile and brass for training [photo in attachments].

Case is fired, meybe someone has made a wooden shell of another production?

Please zoom photo on the neck of case and projectile.

Hi as requested pictures of the head and joint ,the wooden head is fixed by 4 brass rivets .This came from a reliable source and at a reasonable price ,saying that it could have been put together along time ago by someone who couldnt find a projectile ,regards Dave
