i have this german 280 mm for a while but can not find any info.
is there anyone who knows this one?
height is 810 mm,the two drivingsbands are each 45 mm.
see photo,next to a german 150mm shrapnel.
de enige die dichtst in de buurt komt is 71cm lang,ook de drijfbanden zijn dan smaller

hello,
the only one that comes close is 710mm ,but also the drivingbands are smaller.
but i know that there are variants,it would be nice to find documentation.
Or is it maybe without the ballistic haube? have to check the WW1 ordnance. You know for sure it's a German shell? Since the French had this calibre too in WW1.
I bought him for a german,but may perhaps have another nationality.
Therefore i find it so strange that i find no info.
The bottom plate is gone,but must have been 22 cm.
I think it will be difficult to ID
Is there any chance you can take a closer photograph of each of the two projectiles and post them here for those like myself who have no access to these types of projectiles? I and I'm sure many others would greatly appreciate such photos.
are you sure of the driving band? see photo
a Friend collector also has a German navy 280mm grenade ww1 and has the same driving bands, but his grenade is shorter
he found those back in documentation.
when I go over there I take pictures.
