I was wondering if you’ve ever seen anything like this.

Indicators we’ve pieced together from the picture are, large caliber, the base appears to be roughly 3 inches across, double driving band, and what appears to be a precursor charge in the fuze well, indicating a Base Detonating fuze. However, I’ve never seen a precursor charge like this one, this is new to me.

Attached is the picture only one I have, any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think without more photographs much can be gathered, it look like a former lamp to me

The idea of a charge on the tip of the concrete piercing projectile is known (34 Rö Gr 42 Be),
But looking at the picture I would also say it is some kind of stand made from a projectile.
What is the top made from?

Bob.
