Original Item. Only One Available. The 76-mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) (Russian: 76-мм дивизионная пушка обр. 1942 г. [ЗиС-3]) (GRAU index: 52-P-354U) was a Soviet 76.2 mm divisional field gun used during World War II. ZiS was a factory designation and stood for Zavod imeni Stalina ("factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of Artillery Factory No. 92, which first constructed this gun.

This is a great and scarce Soviet WWII 76.2mm artillery round, the first of its kind we have offered. It is very difficult to find artillery pieces this large from the Soviet Union still intact like this. This would have been fired from the 76mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3). This gun was designed to combine the light carriage from the 57mm ZiS-2 anti-tank gun and the powerful 76.2 mm barrel from the F-22USV.

The round measures 24 ¾” tall with the projectile inserted. There is heavy oxidation and some material loss to the projectile as shown. The fuze at the tip still unscrews for inspection of the interior. The bottom of the casing retains a myriad of stamps including a 36r and 40, one of which could be a date.

An excellent example of a scarce round, ready for display.
