GG = Geschützgießerei (factory stamp) the smaller KG stamps are acceptance stamps. KG and GG is the same, GG is the old name, KG the new name (Geschütz is the word with a broader meaning and sounds more elegant than Kanone so they changed it somewhere in the 1880's). Old shells had only GG stamps, than GG manufacturer an KG acceptance were mixed and until some time before war both stamps were "KG".
@SilentKnight: because you invest much work into this drawing: I have some small corrections for you to make it perfect
I would like to thank you all for the efforts you have made in helping ID this shell.
A great response, and of course one of the reasons why bocn is top of the game.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Dylan
