Identification of WW1 era German 10.5cm round?

Darkman

Well-Known Member
Here are some photos I was sent of a German round by a non-collector.

He says the shell is 410mm long and 100mm wide. The case is 600mm long and 108mm at the mouth.

I suspect his measurements are not accurate and that it’s a 10.5cm round. Quite possibly even the case and shell are a mis-match.

The shell driveband is possibly an old replacement as it doesn’t look right.

Any ideas please?

Drive band and case are all correct. This is a naval round.
