Can somebody help me to identify which gun fired this very large brass shell case. It's 22cm/220mm across the case mouth, 230mm high from base and the base is 235mm across. The only markings are : GFSP 78 DEZ 1917 Sp197 Is it German ?
Cartridge cases are not my thing but I liked the size of it and the condition, which is great and original. Thanks in advance.
