WW1 Karlsruhe patronen fabrik chrome inert Shells info


1288pc

Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have two Shells that I believe to be WW1 inert german Naval Shells 

Marked to base with karlsruhe patronen fabrik, one has the crown above M which I understand to be kaiserliche Marine

They are slightly different in height and are in a chrome finish

Any help would be greatly received

The headstamps to the base would normally also carry a date stamp.

Left WWI 3.7cm round with ball tracer projectile and 37x101mm case for the Sockelflak anti-aircraft gun. Right pre-WWI 3.7cm round with ball tracer projectile and 37x94mm case for a naval pom-pom cannon. I think the latter is a mismatch as I don’t think that type of projectile existed before WWI. It is also pushed too far into the case.

One place you could sell them is here:
