Hello, I have what a believe is a 17cm K 18 in MrsLaf case, it's made of brass and the head reads: P C/95 (12 O'Clock) small eagle but hardly visible (3 O'Clock) 1939 (6 O'Clock) and I (9 O'Clock). I am not sure this case was cut down, the diameter at the mouth is approx 174-175 mm and the total length approx. 410mm. Can someone help me? Thank you.

What is the rim diameter? Post a profile (side view) of the complete case.
 
There was a 173x726R (rim 216mm) for 17cm K18 in Mörserlafette (6324)
And a 173x1033R (rim 203mm) for 17cm K(E) and 17cm SKL/40

So the rim diameter will help your identification

The 17 cm C/95 should be 170x1051R203 mm so it is unfortunately cut down.
