I am helping a collector with several ID's. Shown are 3 rare shell case head stamps. I am looking for verification/help for the ID and explain some abbreviations.
1 - I suspect a Czech made Bulgarian 3,7 cm Skoda M1937. Bulgaria is pretty convincing as they often used "D" to represent "L" as in "L/48". The Skoda 3,7 cm M1937 is L/47.8 and known to be bought by Bulgaria. Does anybody know the meaning of "CA", "S1" (probably S indicates lot) and "u.c."?
2 - Another Czech made Bulgarian 3,7 cm Skoda M1937. Any clarification about the meaning of the Cyrillic marks is appreciated. Notice the German made primer.
3 - Czech made under German occupation, a 3,7 cm Skoda M1938. It should be for the 3,7 cm M1938 A7 tank gun I assume. The primer has an "S" which is uncommon and possibly comparable to the "S" on the shown Bulgarian 3,7 cm M1937 (#1). I do not know the meaning of "T.K." nor does the logo above 1941 ring a bell. Also not sure for which country this is.....
Thanks in advance, and even if nothing get's ID-ed, these head stamps are too cool not to share
