7,5 cm or 7,7 cm German cartridge case

77 mm for the Felkanone 96 n/A, made by Fritz Neumeyer in the city of Nrnberg. It was accepted in the Bavarian Hauptlaboratorium (HL) in the city of Ingolstadt.
 
This is a 77x230Rmm case for the German C/96 Field Gun. From how many I have seen, this is the most common calibre of surviving 1st World War artillery cases. I see alot of these here in the UK (trench-arted and plain) even today.
