I am looking for the dimensions and images of the head stamp of the 25 mm Hotchkiss Revolver Kanone. These shell cases should be made by Patronenfabrik Lorenz in the period 1878 and 1879 until unknown.
I do not know which countries used the gun, but it is documented that Krupp ordered these cases from "DWM" in 1878 and 1879. The image shown is from an original "DWM" catalogue dating around 1895 so it seems they have been in production for quite some time. But I have never seen such a case.
Based on the original drawing I estimate the case to be 25x106R36. Still interested if anybody has this shell case in their collection for a measurement!
