When you say "very heavy" are you talking hollow & heavy or solid & heavy? With a flat end like that it looks to be a PROOF or PRAC projectile??? Regards Ozzi.

Like solid, Yes I also think of a practice

Looks a lot like a proof projectile for Pak / KwK 40 gun.
Look for arrows

Hello

Not the same but an example of a German 7.5cm proof shot (Anschieß geschoß)

On the other great forum is a thread on german proof shots.
link here: http://www.wk2ammo.com/showthread.php?3287-German-WW2-Proof-shot-gallery
There is a 200mm variant.
Hope it is OK to post the link
Yours is much longer and will be heavier. The part under the driving band looks like the 7,5cm Gr 34 - from this I drew the connection tho the Pak/KwK40 guns.
If German it would have the arrows as the one on MINENAZ 16s diagram.
