Hello ..
Is this cartridge case Austrian?
It is 15cm calibre
Length is 185mm
Rim diameter is 169mm
See photos for base stampings.
That " R " reminds me of an Austrian marking.
T L H ....Turm Leichte Haubitze ???

Case shown with another recent acquisition 211x410R
Any information greatly appreciated
Thanks !

Case made by TLH for Belgium, period around WW1 (not WW2).
 
Thank you
So would the calibre have been 150 or 149mm ?
Any idea of the gun(s) that used this case?
Cheers

149,1 cm but often called 15 cm. Not sure which type, but I also think the Schneider as already mentioned.
