Norwegian case from 1941

[Hoeksel]

I have a 77x277R90 case for the 75 mm field gun L/31 Model 1901 (Krupp). This gun is used by many European countries. Now the strange thing is that this shell case is from 1941, like the primer, while Norway was under German occupation starting in April 1940.

Can anybody explain the date on this case? There is no WaA on the case.

After ww2 there was a shortage of brass her in Norway. The Norwegian army reused the German shell for a long period instead of melting and reproducing new cases. The Germans used the Norwegian factories to produce equipment for them, but if they made them to use WaA markings I dont know.
Hopes this helps a bit.

Cheers

Is the primer a copy of a the British No. 1 screw-in primer?
