WWII German 7,5cm PzGr 39

You do not see many of these with all of their markings intact. I found this in the US of all places.

An easy projectile to find, but not in that condition....lovely item, well done.
Now to find a nice kwk40 case, that won't be easy either

Hello Rich. Do you mean it should go on something like these? You see my problem? They are all marked Spreng Granate. It is almost like they just came out of sealed, cylindrical, steel time capsules. Almost...

Lol, There's me thinking it would be fairly hard to find a nice case over there. It looks like you just pulled a Stug/PzIV out of a time capsule somewhere?
.....now if you could do the same with the Kwk42 case, ill be amazed

Thank you, Ben. I do not recall ever seeing that ammunition carrier in the German manuals.

I have found the 7,5 cm Pzgr 39 to be one of the most difficult German tank ammunition items to find in the US. It took me two years of looking to find this example.

The frame was for in the tank, they made different types. Ben
