German Manufactured Czeck 47mm, Tropical Loading

This is a case I have had for quite some time, it is a German manufactured case (round) for the Czeck 47mm PaK and tank guns.

Someone turned it into a lamp at one time, so there are 4 holes drilled around the case mouth...but it is what it is...

The remnants/outlines of the case stenciling is there, it was in black...at the bottom of it all in red is PT = +25 C....

Nice readable headstamp too.

The projectile actually is a turn of the century Winchester projectile I believe for the 3 Pounder gun...but its 47mm, and fits the case, and at least looks the part...

Nice piece, if the only price of survival are the holes, it is a fair trade.
I can imagine a much more "trench arted" piece.
