INERT DEACTIVATED. This is an unfired Russian WW2, 1941 dated 45mm (45x310R), fragmentation high explosive (H.E) round for the model 1937 53-k 45mm anti tank gun. The gun was introduced as a quick firing anti tank gun and used in the initial stages of WW2. The weapon however soon proved inadequate in penetration and the gun was relegated to infantry support using the high explosive round. This round is fitted with the O-240 extended high explosive projectile fitted with a KTM-1 steel nose fuze. This heavier projectile utilised a reduced charge due to its extra weight. The projectile is stamped on the side with various markings including 104 3 23 11. The steel nose fuze is stamped 3NA KTM-S – 161-991.
