88mm (8,8cm) Flak 18 Head Stamps (Fake?)

I have a few 88mm cases, and they all are marked with the proper 6347 model number. I have seen some like this offered for sale without the number. Are the ones without the 6347 number fakes? Thank you for your help.

Stamps are OK. When Finnish Army sold thousands of 88 cases some years ago there were plenty stamped this way - all original German.
 
For me the markings are authentic, the case is just also marked for use in the naval gun SKC/30 that used the same ammunition. The ST I understand denotes a steel case rather than pure brass.
