Stamp, 5cm german shell?

[Burnie]

Does anyone know whats these markings mean? The shell could be a 5 cm AP.

Are you sure that this is a German 5cm?
Not a Russian 45mm?

 

[Burnie]

I'm not sure at all. Do you have more info about the Russian projectile?

Can you send a picture showing the projectile in total length. The marking does not look typical Russian.

Here is a picture of it when we found it.

It looks like a Bofors, but maybe too large.

 

[APFSDST]

In my opinion this is a Russian 45mm BR-240 AP projectile with MD-5 or MD-7 base fuze, the tracer is lost.
