Trying to ID a large German Railway/Coastal Case.....HS is Patronenfabrik Karlsruhe April 1918 4 .

Case mouth approx 240mm, length 1032, Rim Diameter 275.

Hawkinson lists a number of variations for that diameter & length, but all with 323mm Rim Diameter.
Help!
Pete.
 
OK, might be that Mr Hawkinson got the rim diameter wrong....after a bit more digging looks like being 24cm SK L/40 Railway Gun.
