Nonono, it's a F.K.Gr.11 (universal shell) with suitable internal parts (steel disc missing) and a L.K.Z.16 (wrong fuze for this shell). So nothing special, millions of pieces produced...
I think you held every part in your hands many times at work :biggrin:
Correct for this shell would be a K.Z.11 or K.Z.11 l.B. (not K.Z.11.Gr)
wrong internal part
Yes it's the original cup, they exist in steel too.
Didn't a french BOCN member post a cutaway of this shell recently? Just don't have the time to search at moment.
Hehe, yes some of the german 2nd WW shaped charge shells have a similar looking cup inside.
A very long time ago I took this picture of the complete parts of the F.K.G.11. As far as I know not all shells had the smoke charge (the aluminium can). The black powder charge on bottom was in an aluminium only on shells from old stock.
