1288pc Posted 18 December , 2023 Share Posted 18 December , 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyH Posted 18 December , 2023 Share Posted 18 December , 2023 The headstamps to the base would normally also carry a date stamp. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peregrinvs Posted 18 December , 2023 Share Posted 18 December , 2023 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: https://quickfireauctions.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
