Not the most glamorous of subjects but I thought to post a few pictures of what I think is a steel/brass washed 2-part case for the German 105mm FH18 field howitzer (105x 155). I am surprised at the amount of work put into this 1937 made item, the construction is complex and the fixing inside the case is very heavy and I assume difficult to manufacture. With the early date it would be hard to argue that this level of complexity was worthwhile to save brass in wartime. Marked as 6342/65, very glad to have your thoughts.
