I'm trying to establish the various types of projectiles used with this particular case, 50 x 347mm, 5cm Flak 41 anti-aircraft gun case. Line drawings would be most useful. TIA
 
The pictures are from the "L.Dv.4402 Die Munition der 5cm Flak 41".

Thanks Rigby, that's great

I have had the projectile below for many years and it came in 5cm Flak 41 case. If its not for that gun what is it?

I think it's a projectile for the aircraft cannon. However, the fuse is wrong and you need a case for the Pak 38 (AT Gun).
