Very interesting - thanks for sharing - 18cm never heard about befor

[charley777]

Yes very interesting...It looks as if the case is slightly necked, but surely it would be seperate loading ? What is the length of this case?
And the base diameter? Thanks very much

It is a very rare ammo.
But it is possible , today, to find the case.
This case has a look between the french 15cm ww1 How model and the german 21cm How ... but necked . Brass case.

I have one , found in a flee market close to Paris.
I have seen an other in an arms fair.
Some friends have also found a case .

I must search in my boxes to recover the case for the exact dimensions and Fotos .

Yes it would be very interesting to get the dimensions and perhaps headstamp photo....when you find it ;) Thanks ....Charley

Headstamp

[charley777]

Thanks for posting the case photos....it is certainly an interesting shape with its minimal shoulder and neck. Am i correct in thinking that this would be seperate-loading ? And for my cartridge dimension list , can someone please provide the base diameter ? Thanks very much....Charley
