Hello
Just seen this video on youtube
You'll see , the WW1 shell is still beautiful and in good condition . (from Belgium)

Nice,
7,7 cm K.Gr 15 m. P. ( 7,7 cm Kanonen Granate 15 mit Panzerkopf / 7,7 cm Fieldgunshell model 15 with armourpiercing head) not all that common.
(still looking for one for my own collection!)
There's also a version with Tracer, the 7,7 cm K.Gr 15 m. P. und L. (this I have, double, one up for trade for version sans L.) not sure wether this is WW1 as well, or from the post WW1 / Reichswehr period.
Both rounds used the: IZ m.V. f. K.Gr.15 m.P. (Innenzünder mit Verzögerung für Kanonen Granate 15 mit Panzerkopf / internal(percussion)fuze with delay for " Kanonen Granate 15 mit Panzerkopf " )
basically this is a HE shell equiped with an internal fuze over which a solid, armoupiercing, cap is screwed.
