8cm Case

[Andysarmoury]

Hi all I just picked this case up the other day believing it to be a WW1 8.8cm case but in fact when I got it home and measured it its a 8cmX585mm case dated 1917 it has a FN in a circle and found out its made by Fritz Neumeyer, cant find out much about the projectiles used for it, has anybody got any info on it please, now to give it a good clean.
Cheers
Andy

It's a 8 cm Flak case. Projectiles are rare correct fuzes nearly impossible to get.

They don't seem to be much information on them or photos, and thank you for confirming it's a 8cm case.

Many thanks doctor, something you don't see very often, It will give me an idea what to look out for, any measurements ?
