WW2 German Wehrmacht – 7.5cm KwK42 COMPLETE HE ROUND & SHELL CASING – Pz.Kpfw. V “PANTHER” – NICE!

Description

You are bidding on a GOOD relic example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht Steel High Explosive Round!  100% INERT, this was used by Germany’s famous 7.5cm KwK42 L/70, as used on the Panzer V and Jagdpanzer IV.

The 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 (from 7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 42 L/70) was a 7.5 cm calibre German tank gun used on German armoured fighting vehicles in the Second World War. The gun was the armament of the Panther medium tank and two variants of the Jagdpanzer IV self-propelled anti-tank gun. On the latter it was designated as the “7.5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 42” (7.5 cm Pak 42) anti-tank gun. 

Made of aluminum and steel, this is a FANTASTIC piece of history!  Recovered from the Russian Front, there is some obvious wear, damage, and corrosion, however it remains VERY SOLID!  Measuring approx. 35″ tall, and 3″ in diameter, some markings are still present, but have have worn away over time. Could use a bit of a clean-up and restoration. A good hole-filler for someone wishing to complete a collection until a nicer one is found.  Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
