10,5 cm lFH40 case with Kriegsmarine abnahme?

[Hoeksel]

I recently found my first 10,5 cm lFH40 case (6327, steel) and to my surprise this case has not the expected WaA but a Kriegsmarine Abnahme. I know at least 1 other collector who also has this steel case with Kriegsmarine Abnahme.

Can anybody tell me where or for what purpose the Kriegsmarine used this gun?

Nice find, have a talk with Jost (2 cm Collector) who is always on the Dutch meetings, he can explane why the Germans sometimes use normal WAa and Navy stamps. Ben

Will do Ben, thanks for the tip!

It is because some factories had a navy inspector doing his job, these also inspected ammo for other services if needed. Not very often but it happened.

So this also happened the other way? I have a WBW35 case for depth charges with a WaA. Good to know this happened!

Correct ...
