[Big Dave]

A Polish 75mm HE,the adapter is marked Wz15-E ,5-34 M with 2 eagles.There are the remains of dull red paint on parts ,was this the end colour or has some primer/undercoat been left on ? If anyone could advise on colour and stencils it would be greatly appreciated

Try with these markings on Polish shell :
(the second letter after "N" is "t")

Just for interest, I do have a US 75mm in original, no doubt faded red paint color with markings for comparison. The brownish colored one next to it I have no idea if repainted, I assume a repaint as it has no painted markings. Both came from a retired US Army Artilleryman's huge collection ten years ago.
