Different from well known 10.5cm LgFHGr., 378mm without fuze and a higher driving band (28mm from the base).
 
It's a 10,5 cm F.H.Gr.98. It was fuzed with the Dopp. Z. 92 F. H. + Zdlg. 92. In my opinion a very rare shell. Even documents are very hard to find about this shell. There was also a black powder filled TP type of this shell made from one piece of cast steel.

I think these shells were obsolete and scrapped before WW1 started because also the Dopp. Z. 92 F. H. isn't seen on WW1 battlefields (please correct me if I am wrong)
