Hello,
here Italian 102/35 shell modified for use in 100/17 howitzer. It's clearly visible the ring for the 102/35 driving band.
Italian 100/17 shrapnel with purple ring above driving band and 75/27 CK anti aircraft shell with fragmentation cilinder.
italian 76/40 incendiary shrapnel and a 75mm shrapnel with purple ring above driving band used in 75/27, 75/13. the black in marking above the purple ring means this was a ww1 shell restored in 1932
best regards

Hello,
a quite rare italian 57/43 Nordenfeld mod 1887 gun APHE mod 1936 shell. The gun was used in ww2 as anti tank in fortifications. The shell was a new design with mod 09 fuze, same as 47/32 APHE shell. Any other pics please?
best regards
Hello,
italian 75mm High Capacity shell, used in 75/13 75/27. I think paint isn' original, white stripe measn high capacity.
here a couple of pic that shows differences betwen normal and High capacity shell;
As you can see, the screwed ogive had a little recess to match with italian guerritore fuze. In normal shell, wall are thick than high capacity shell.
best regards
Hello Bob,
do you know the difference between 15 cm M.14 and 15 cm M.17 G-Schrapnell? I ask because both have the same shape.
