I have had this case in the collection for some time and I would appreciate a positive identification. Information on early Austrian ammunition is difficult to find in English! The case was made in Berndorf and is dated 1896, rim diameter of 140mm, length of 104mm and a mouth diameter of 127mm. I can find no evidence that the case has been cut and the metal is very thin at the mouth. Did the Austrian Army have a 122mm gun? Pictured against the 10cm howitzer case for comparison.
