Id. heavy artillery ammunition

[Zünder]

I agree that this is ammunition for 75 mm MLe 1897 guns.
But difficult to say what country and what type of shell exactly.
The double black rings indicate a reduced charge which was used by the french (75 mm Mle 1897) and polish armies (75 mm Wz 1897).
These cases were also marked with a black cross across the base, this was done by both countries.

Best regards,

Zünder.

Hi all,

Thanks, Zünder. Any idea about any of my previous images ?

Hi all,

An image from Ebay: 220mm French artillery shells. Any idea about the exact model ?

My best guess for this projectile would be 220 MM Obus de Acier Explosif M 1915. I would give this identification a 80 %.

Thanks, ROLAND1369

Here, another image from Ebay. It seems that you can read 520, so I assume an 520mm shell for Schneider Mle 1916 French rail howitzer...

Nobody ?

Well. here another image from Ebay. Can somebody identify the shell to the right ?
I think the other one can be a 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer shell

Right shell is a 10 cm Pzgr (APHE) with the protective cap still in place, this cap was removed before firing.

Could you tell me if this cartridge has been ignited ? I am not sure.....
Thanks for your help.

Yes, it is discharged. It's equipped with a Zdschr. C/13 n.A. percussion igniter - indentation made by the firing pin can be clearly seen in its centre.

I think only 1 possible candidate.
French 240 mm Mle 1915 M. 1923 D for 240 mm railway gun.

Difficult to say for sure, but i think it´s a french 120 mm Mle 1890 for the Canon de 120 mm court de campagne.
