Austrian WW1 10cm Howitzer

Well-Known Member
Austrian cases are relatively rare in the UK, I guess only a few were brought home by British troops serving on the Italian Front. I bought the case on the basis that it looked about right and I understand that it is probably from the Model 1910 mountain howitzer. I also think that the same case would have been used in the Model 1908 mountain and Model 18999 field howitzer. Could anybody confirm if the dimensions are correct, case length 88mm and rim diameter 116mm? Thoughts on place of manufacture?

The case length is correct according to Robert Hawkinson's list.

Sorry I can't help on place of manufacture.
