Hi all,

Some images from Ebay: 30.5cm shells for Skoda howitzers.

I have some doubts about this ammo. Used the 30.5cm Skoda M11 and M16 howitzers the same ammunition?
According to my information there were two types of shells in WW1: a 287kg shell and a heavier 384kg shell.
Which was the official name of these shells?

Apparently the Czechs developed new ammunition for his M16 howitzers during the 20s and 30s: M35 and M15/28

Image 1: I suppose it will be a M35 or a M15/28 czech shell ??
Image 2: I think this photo shows the two types of projectiles usen during WW1: a 384kg in foreground and a 287kg shell in background
Image 3: M35 or M15/28 czech shell ??

Are you sure 7.2in british shellls? :? :?

According to my information the british 7.2in (182.9mm) howitzer Mk.I was officially approved on 7 April 1941,
and the image seem taken in 1940
