6,0cm C/98 Marine Landing Canon projectiles

I recently bought 2 6cm rounds. They weren't cheap, and I was told that
it isn't as hard to find the body as it is to find the fuse.

Except from the (awesome) Kaisersbunker website, I'm having a hard time to find
more decent info on the net about this round or even the gun it was shot with.

Did they use it much in the war?

I'll add some pics. On the bottom of the black one, you can still see the
M-stamp.

I hope someone can hook me up with some more info about these or maybe even
some drawings. Thanks :)

Again, thanks to Henry Belot for his documentation.

Thanks Yoda.

And if anyone has such a projectile in his/hers collection, please feel
free to post some pictures so this can be an info topic for further determination.

Also pictures of the casings are welcome. (for variants in markings, reload marks and such.)
 
hello doodle,

here a 6cm marine shot of me,
everything of 1916.

Whilst working with every piece of info I'm getting now, I stumbled upon an
seemingly already existing topic on this forum!! :

http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/49325-German-WW1-6cm-Gun-Boat-Round


Here, member "Fert" also has posted his piece. :)

Can someone tell me what the topicstarter (Christhurston) means with "Siegfried on SA" :

That's a very interesting looking round from siegfreid on SA.
Does anyone know anything about these??? I've never seen one before.
