The 3,7 cm SKC/30 (SK = Schiffs Kanone, or something...) was the standard Kriegsmarine light AA gun at the start of WW2. It was manually loaded, firing at c.30 rpm. The 37x380R ammo was very powerful, firing a 750g projectile at 1,000 m/s.

A complete round is shown in the pic below from my ammo photo gallery, nest to the standard 37x263B FlaK round. The ones I have seen all suffer from some corrosion damage - I've never seen a mint one.

Hello WaffenAmt

Sory, no more information.
These brass cases are more difficult to find than the steel cases.
