10.5cm German HE projectile information needed

[Burney Davis]

I have what I think is a German Naval 10.5cm HE projectile. It has a sintered iron driving band, a threaded plate for the gain and a threaded hole for a base tracer. The projectile looks to me to be of a first war design that has been modified, perhaps prior to the second war. There is a faint naval mark by the stamped numbers but no date and no other marks visable. I've not seen this type of projectile before, can anyone offer any information or reference on it?

Many thanks

105mm x 347mm with the driving band 75mm from the base, 24mm wide. Hope that helps Yoda.

Hello,
As you already know, genaral construction and dimensions of this shell match with ww1 german 10.5cm L/3.6,
but with new base with crimp groove and something like a FES driving band.
I assume this modified shell was used during ww2. On my bad documentation, shells are fuzed with ZtZ s/60, s/30 and KZ nA f.Spgr.

Regards

it should be this TP shell (fuze thread should be of Withworth type):

HE l'spur were used too. The question is about different shape of base compared to diagram (crimp grooves)

 

[Alpini]

I tink they existed with and without the grooves but had no different nomenclation

Thanks to both. Would these have been for coast defence, vessel or U-boat use?
