I picked this up in Normany years ago. I'd be grateful if someone could identify it for me, and suggest a current UK value.

The case is 444mm OA

The case mouth is slightly out of round and is close to 11cm. Is it a shortened case?

The case has not been shortened. It was a separate loaded round, hence the larger mouth diameter

No idea of the value

Thank you for the identification.

I've just googled schwere 10cm Kanone 18 and found some info and photos of the gun.

I also found that WaA406 is Polte Armaturen-und Maschinenfabrik A.G., Magdeburg, Sachsen
 
Last week I sold a good condition brass case like this one for 40,-.
