10.5cm VZ35 Case

[doppz92]

Hello, It was a lucky weekend as I was given this 10.5cm VZ35 brass case. Never seen one before. It dates from 1937 and is 683mm long. I don't find much info on it, except what Wikipedia says, is it a rare find?, what are the chances to come by a projo? Sorry for the tilted pictures. Thank you.
