Hi,
waffenamt... are you sure this is projectile used in Pak40?
Look's more like 5cm SprGr.38 for 50 x 289R (Kw.K 38) or 50 x 420R (Pak 38, Kw.K 39).
Transport cap have stamp's; M28 x 1,5. This is fuze hole for A.Z.39 or 3,7 cm Kpf.Z.Zerl.


Regards.

Hi Marius,
My pal StielGranate on this forum has also mentioned the same as you!.
You boys are prolly correct but how come this proj fits in my Pak 40 case and looks almost the same as the 5cm AP proj?
I will take some pics as work today looks unlikely with this snow.

cheers

Ive had a look at the cases in which this proj fits and it says 5cm PaK,deffo no `40`,so sorry if i described it wrong.
I maybe better off sticking to collecting fuzes!

cheers
