Hello
I have drawing in a book by Jean-Jacques Dubois ( Obus Allemands de la Grande Guerre -- fascicle 1, les obus de calibre 77mm ) .
Having not seen this case in any lists i ask the forum's opinions.
The caption says that this case is for the FK 16 which of course normally uses a 230mm long case.

Hi Charley, sorry I forgot to reply to your PM, too much work! This case doesn't exist as such, it is a mistake from J.J. Dubois, the case in his book is a Russian 76.2 x 385R and was never used in the FK16.
 
OK thanks.
That explains it
In fact i have a few of these 76.2x385R cases for Russia including an FN manufactured as in the drawing.
Cheers
