Description
amp;nbsp;
You are bidding on a VERY NICE example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht Steel Armor Piercing Round! 100% INERT, this was used by Germany's famous 7.5cm KwK40 and PaK39 anti-tank cannons!
The 7.5 cm KwK 40 (7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 40) was a German 75 mm Second World War era vehicle-mounted gun, used as the primary armament of the German Panzer IV (F2 models onwards) medium tank and the Sturmgeschütz III (F models onwards) and Sturmgeschütz IV tank destroyers/assault guns.
The design of the KwK 40 was adapted from the similar towed anti-tank gun, the 7.5 cm Pak 40. It replaced the short-barrel 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24 close-support gun, providing a huge improvement in firepower for mid-war tank designs. It came in two versions, with L/43 and L/48 barrel lengths, the former used during 1942 and early 1943, and the latter after that point. Along with the Pak 40, the KwK 40/StuK 40 was the most numerous anti-tank gun of the German army, and remained an effective weapon until the war's end.
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. 30 tall, and 3 in diameter, some markings are still present. A section is missing from the top (see photo). Could use a bit of a clean-up. Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!

What is the difference between the 7.5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 40 and the 7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 40? I know that one is mounted in tanks and another is just a normal AT gun
