023.jpg022.jpg021.jpg020.jpg019.jpg018.jpg017.jpg016.jpg can anyone identify this base plate with a screw out tracer, what shell is it used for ! thanks, Mick
 
Markings let se you have a German shell base plate.
With a diameter of 72mm, it must be the base plate of a 8,8 cm. Now, different models of 8,8 cm had a same base plate : 8,8cm L/3,9; 8,8cm L/4,4; 8,8cm L/4,5
On your picture with dimension of the base plate I can see two lateral places for a wrench. This is more as certain that it is the base plate of the model 8,8cm L/4,5
Tracer is the common Lh31 (Lichtspurhulse 31).
