Hello,
I am looking for info on the projectile in the bottom of the picture.
Calibre 37 mm
Length 174 mm
Two driving bands, both gone.
Upper 9,5 mm wide, lower 10,5 mm.
All measurements approximate due to corrosion.

Above the Austro-Hungarian M15 for comparison.

Thanks, Bob.

A number of WWII German projectiles had double rotating bands, but the back end tracer looks like 37mm Bofors.
 
Bob,

Did you have a look at the Danisch 37 mm M1938 it looks a lot like it but I have no length.

Regards,

Chris
 
The Danish M.1938 has a longer conical forepart and the base looks slightly different (Picture for comparison grabbed from the www).
