German Shell case paint markings

[thekees]

I want to show a few markings with ink, or paint placed on German Shell cases. The first one is a 15 cm L/45 case, marked with LG, Leught Granate. The case is also additional marked with TRI.RP, a special charge for starshells. Who has more of these kind of markings, and want to show them here on BOCN?

This one is a 40,6 cm shell case. Marked with the weight of the charge. And a red cross. Do not know the meaning of the red cross, so any help will be helpfull!

This is a related one, powder bags coming from the KWK43 charge, nicely marked.

This one is of a 15 cm L/45 case, WW1, North sea find. The number and date of the charge is clearely visable, will not clean this case, because of the number. Not a perfect case, but has the real look

And always like the KWK 43 markings. By turning the case upside down, i found it marked as KWK42, anyone seen this before?

Excellent post Kees.
Some really nice case and very interesting to see the ink markings with the headstamp.
