57 x 250R Gruson ?

[Andy Naude]

Good Day All.

A friend has asked me to assist in identifying this round.

The shell measures 57 mm and the case length 250 mm. I believe it to be the 57 X 250R Gruson.

Head stamp : *PATROONFABRIK* KARLSRUHE. The is also a K on the fuze. No further marking.

Cant seem to find any further information. Was this a German Field Gun?

Any other information would help. Is this item common or not.

Hello,
Dutch used a similar shell (6cm granaatkartets) with fuze N°6 tijdschokbuis (graduated to 28/30 with different markings from yours) fired in Krupp 6cm gun (6 veld)
