ryandunny Posted 20 May , 2018 Share Posted 20 May , 2018 Hi all, I bought my first piece of ‘trench art’ today and was wondering if anyone could help me identify the type of gun it would be fired from by the markings? I know it’s German but that’s all. Thank you Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrey McLean Posted 20 May , 2018 Share Posted 20 May , 2018 Hello, Ryan - It is indeed German, apparently a shell case for a 15cm howitzer. If so, the measurements (width of mouth and length of case) would be 150mm by 113mm. If the measurements are 105mm by 93mm, it's a shell case for the 10.5cm howitzer. I hope that this information helps. Regards, Torrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
