WWFrank Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted May 9, 2021 The actual dimension is 40mm. Unlikely that it is 37mm projectile. Thank you for responding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxrobot Posted June 15, 2021 Share #6 Posted June 15, 2021 57mm AP projectiles were marked on the bronze driving band, which is missing on your specimen. An example of the marking would be "57G, M1 & 6 PDR, 7 CWT, " indicating it was for the 57mm Anti-tank gun developed in England and used by U.S. and U.K. forces in WW2.
