Hi All,

A recent find, German 5cm x 420mm steel case, it still has a lot of its original stenciling.

A nice case in reasonable condition, does show some rust in places.
 
Great find Richard, did you get it locally ? Don't see many with the stenciling still on the case, you just need a projectile for it now.
Best regards Weasel.
 
Hi Weasel,

I picked it up from a Plymouth based dealer, the stenciling shows up really well in the photo's, I did think when I first saw it that it had been Sea recovered and cleaned up, but then when I picked it up I realized that it was a brass coated steel case.
All the Best. Richard
