Russian 1 pounders

[SG500]

These ones are in a friends collection - thought they would be of interest to the one pounder collectors. Quite rare with the nose fuze.

Both INERT and come to bits, primer oiled etc.

i know nothing about them,,but they nice looking rounds

 

[Gspragge]

Yes they are nice

I have only seen the fuze with the teeth, can you post some more images of the fuzes. Have these been plated or polished at some distant time.

(I might stand a chance of one of these if somebody leaves me one in their will:xd

Those are very interesting and the first Russian examples I've seen. The headstamp has an anchor proof so I presume these are for a 1-pdr Naval deck gun. Did the Russians also have a small field gun version of the 1-pdr like the U.S. M1916 gun or French type we copied ours from?

They had the compact, manually-loaded Obukhov gun which was fitted to some flying boats in WW1.

I too know nothing about the russian 1 pounders, but these shells are stunning, well marked cleaned and polished. How good would those look in the bunker. Great scott they sure are nice..Dano

They had

several designs of light and rather crude close support cannons, the Finns have examples in a museum, images are on the web I will try to find them. They also bought 200+ McClean automatic cannon from the Poole Machine and Equipment Co in the U.S. These used the standard 37x136r 1 Pdr. Heavy casing with the PE&M projectile with the Driggs base fuze. They also bought PE&M 37x95r rounds with the same projectile. My images are on another computer. They also had 37mm Maxim and Revolving cannon.

Three images from Landships of the 1915 Rosenberg Cannon.

Thanks guys, yes they are really nice, I don't really collect one pounders but would really like these myself..........no chance.........yet.
I'll take some more photos of the fuze when I'm at his house next, probably sometime before Christmas.
Has anyone got any line drawings of these rounds?

Do you know about this fuze anything Davis?
This fuse was with a detonator or black powder igniter (have a dangerous parts)?
And shell of this projectile is a schrapnell or splinter (fougasse)?
Sorry, but we are don't know nothing about this projectiles......

And big thanks again!

Eugene.

Here is the same projectile viewed against a Russian 3 pr projectile with the same fuze. I am afraid I have no information on the fuse Eugene, perhaps Bonnex can help?

The projectile displays no unusual qualities, it looks vey similar to the 1pr Mk III. Out of interest, the 3pr projectile is both nose and base fuzed.

Export british shell for russian?

 

[HAZORD]

The 3 Pdr and 1Pdr projectiles w/fuzes look so nice, it would seem a shame to fire them! Very attractive items.
