peregrinvs Posted 5 April , 2019 Share Posted 5 April , 2019 (edited) German 3,7cm cartridge case made for use in their examples of the 37mm Hotchkiss revolving cannon. Made by Patronenfabrik Karlsruhe in April 1905. The crown over M marking at the top means it was for the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) I believe the C/97 98 marking means model type 1897-1898. I'd assume the 144 is a batch number. Hopefully someone will explain the 'flaming bomb' symbol. PS. It so happens I have a December 1903 example of one of these on my desk at work as a pen pot. Someone has soldered the center of a WWI Prussian army brass belt buckle to it. Edited 5 April , 2019 by peregrinvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
