Is it possible to give a date range for a 37mm cartridge case with the markings: PATR. FABR. * KARLSRUHE *? Note, there is no date or lot number, no flaming grenades (just stars), and no inspection marks. The case is attached to a 37mm Krupp-Gruson projectile. Would/could this be the correct case for the projectile? The case does not have crimps (correct for the Gruson round), and has the small primer. The shell is believed to have been brought back from South Africa after the Boer War - The Transvaal Staatsartillerie had four Krupp-Gruson 37mm mountain guns, and the OVS Artillerie one Krupp-Gruson field gun.
Any help with this would be brilliant. Thankyou.
