Unknow 7,5

[AZ23-28]

7,5cm x 30,4cm

It is a 7,5cm Spr. Gr. b with KPS band. Four 7,5cm Pak 40 and ......

The 3 arrow stamps near fuze should rather indicate it's for AA or Luftwaffe.

 

[Fjordhouse]

No, its a practice round UB, the 3 Arrow's is a marking for practice, BJ

 

[Tmine35]

Yes, 3 arrows indicate practice shell ( b ) but I have seen the arrows only on Luftwaffe and AA-ammo. Army practice ammo has normally only stencilling Ueb, b or similar.

 

[Fjordhouse]

No i have several projectiles in my collection stamped with 3 arrows and stamped UB or BL, used for the KWK 40 and KWK 38, i agree you see them also on AA

 

[Tmine35]

Interesting Ben, I quickly had a look at my several WW2 German ammo manuals and in drawings there the 3 arrows more or less solely exist on AA- and Luftwaffe ammo only.

 

[Fjordhouse]

Thats the problem with most people, you can not only use the German books, you can find out more if you talk to EOD people, and have a look at the material when you get them, like i told you before i have and also AZ 23/28 several projectiles in the collection with Arrows and used for Tank and infantery, just have a look at the picture of AZ23/28, do you think that round is used for AA? perhaps a special AA canon? BJ

 

[Tmine35]

There also were several different 7,5 cm AA-guns in German use. And what about the 7,5cm airplane guns they had? Those were rather used for testing and therefore dummy rounds should not be that rare?

 

[Fjordhouse]

I don't think that you have ever seen a 7,5 cm Airplane round, but thats not the thing here, this 7,5 cm round from Az 23-28 is with 3 Arrows and is used for the KWK 40, not AA. and we both have (AZ 23-28) several round with 3 arrows and used for infantery and Tank. for me end of discussion.
