Great selection of shells you managed to photograph - 19th century ordnance is fantastic! Thanks for sharing with us Pete.

8 cm caliber?

 

[Alpini]

1-3 = Swiss 4-pdr. shells (84,5 mm)
4 = Austro-Hungarian system Lenk 4-pdr. M.1863 shell (8 cm)
5 = French System La Hitte shell possibly an obus ordinaire de 4 (84 mm)
6 = Swiss 8,4 cm shell
7 = Prussian 9 cm C/61 shell
8 = French System La Hitte, maybe a larger calibre?

Yes the last one is a larger calibre. Unfortuantly i didn't have a measure or scale available.

Peteblight, I know that this is an old thread but I just picked up a shell similar to your Swiss 4-pdr shells and was wondering if you had any further information on them. Thank you Joel

I am not sure but the fuze looks very Russian to me. Call it a hunch, but can anyone confirm that?

it's swiss too, but if I remember right there was a separate thread from Vaquerojoel about the shell.

Alpini here is my other thread: http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threa...2-pdr-RML-artillery-shell?p=267338#post267338

Thanks again for the help on identifying my shell.
