German K.Gr 14 shell...

[starshell]

Hello,

Would any members here have any information on the German K.Gr14 shell, in particular any documentation or illustrations regarding paint schemes, bands (if any), etc.
I know this shell was predominantly Red, but may have had White or Black bands? Just need to know if it did carry bands, whereabouts they were placed on the shell.

Many thanks in advance!

Many thanks sgdbdr, much appreciated.

Here's a million dollar question.....the 3cm White band, is there any way of knowing whether it was placed starting from the top lip of the shell, or whether it was place further down on the ogive (if that makes sense?).
Cheers!

Another picture from a manual. Unfortunately nothing about the white band.
