Unidentified Shell Canister

[stahlblue]

Struggling to identify this shell canister! Can anyone help? It measures approx 83cm x 13cm

It's stamped **n42 near the bottom and there seems to be some cardboard or paper label residue on the underside.

Sorry about the poor quality phone pics!

That is most probably a 7,5cm Kwk 40 HE transport can. The yellow stripe on the cover means HE round, same as the yellow stencil on the main body.

Thanks Carles!

Do any of your lovely canisters have paper / card residue on the bottom? Looking at it now I think I can see *cm (probably used to say 7,5cm) on my picture.

They've got some labels inside but i haven't got any pic right now. White paint on the middle can is for AP and blue is for Hollow charge.
