It is a bit out of round, maybe it is 10cm not 10.5, this would make more sense. One sold on Gun Bugger for $100 so I guess I'l be okay on it, being that it is some what out of my usual -

I don't know if any members are interested in it, but I suspect the postage would take any joy out of it if I had to ship it.

Are you sure of the 300mm lenght ?
Normally the cartridge case for the 10 cm kanone should be 505 mm long

In script is written Karth for "Kartushhlse" witch means that the cartridge case is separated from the shell.

You are right I get 19 3/4" = 501mm, I must have looked at the wrong thing on the conversion chart !
