10cm German Case WWI

[Tiflo]

Hey!

Not british but interesting thing...this case for the 10cm german cannon.
Its composed of steel and brass, produced in 1918 by GBN (Gebruder Bing, Nurenberg)

Compared to my 15cm K18 case (1940)

Is this 10cm case common ?

Not that common, in 5 years I have only found the bottom part of a case like this. Nice find I would say!

 

[Tiflo]

Okay ! Thanks for your reply !
Do you know the value of a such case ? ( just to know, not for sale...)

 

[Hoeksel]

My guess is somewhere between 50 - 100 in the Netherlands? I have to admit I only collect WW2.

 

[Tiflo]

Okay thanks, I only collec WW2 too but that was the first time I see a case like this so i kept it
