The pictured case turned up recently in a local antique fair, initially I thought it was a naval 5cm case but it is clearly not! The measurements are mouth 58mm, length 359mm and rim 68mm. Very clear markings to Karlsruhe and 1916, I started to look in the direction of Naval guns but there is no Marine marking so I am stumped! The date is also of the wrong style for the Navy. Very glad to have your views, pictured alongside a standard 5cm 333mm case for comparison.
