German 15cm

[martijncornet]

Hello,
Does anybody know from which gun this shell case is fired?
And which projectiles belong to it?
And is the length correct?
Thanks!

I think it is not a german but a dutch case for 15 cm L 40 gun. Sorry, I don't know the exact length but I guess it has the original length.

Martijn, great find! Indeed a Dutch 15 cm L/40 (150x855R176). I love the "onbekwaam" remark (freely translated someting like "unfit for duty")

Even the "o"is stamped in the primer.

"o" as in "onschadelijk" = "inerted"

Does anyone have some pictures or other info about the projectiles fired from this gun?
