Was this split neck on this 1916 German 57 x 224R case caused by firing. The look of the crack looks like it was blown open on firing. Wasn't this calibre used in a revolving cannon? Would residual pressure after firing have been able to cause that crack? It doesn't look like it has simply cracked with age due to the way the metal has split.
Any ideas?
I would like to locate another (un-split) one of these if possible. If anyone has one, please could they let me know.
