Hello - 711 was an schwere Artillerie-Abteilung since 1939 until the end of the war - never a number of a Railway-Battery

Hi Uwe, in the book "Eisenbahnartillerie" of Guy Francois. pag.95 is cited a E.711 batterie with 3x 37cm Haubitze (f)...but this could be an error....

On the other hand I need help with this artillery shell. I would say French...22cm caliber perhaps....220mm Schneider Mle 1917 gun ??

Nobody for my last image ?

Well, here another image from Ebay. I would say 10.5cm Flak shells....Is this correct ?

RE #677 Post 18 Feb 2020, 21:49 I concur that this is a 220 MM based on the number of rotating rings and their distance from the base as well as the markings.

Here is a color drawing of the the projectile from a German manual, KENNBLATTER FREMDEN GERATS, heft8b, Munition ab 37 cm, dom 12-5-41.

Here is another picture with the French Nomenclature.

Thank you, ROLAND. Do you know if this shell was used with the 220mm Schneider Mle 1917 gun ?

On the other hand, I need help with these japanese heavy artillery shells.
240mm Type 45 howitzer shells ?

#683 Post Yesterday, 22:19 Yes, the second drawing came from a manual on the 220 mm m 1917 gun. I am unsure as to whether this shell is interchangeable with the 220 MM MORTAR (TR) Mle 1916 Schneider.

Thanks, again, ROLAND1369

Any idea about the Japanese shells ?

Nobody for the Japanaese shells ??

Well, here another image from Ebay.
I think these shells are similar those to the image posted on 23 Feb 2020, so I think they are 10.5cm Flak shells...

Hi all,

According to Ebay photo caption, French ammo. Any idea ?

It is impossible to identify most ammunition without an idea of scale in the picture or some markings. i would however give a 75 % chance that these are French 194 MM FAO
HE projectile. It and not fitted with its detachable wind screen extension. I base this on the shape of the projectile, particularly the nose and number and location of rotating band, a very tenuous form of id. Source: KENNBLATTER FREMDEN GERATS, HEFT 8B, MUNITION AB 3.7 CM, DAM 12-5-41.
