Looking for information about this german 8,8 cm projectile

[flare]

I am urgently looking for information about this 8.8 cm projectile. Does anyone have documents about the construction and the color? Any information is very welcome.



Thank you very much

Identified as Brandspreng on wk2ammo
Different from the more common version with head screwed

Segments mosly thermite for this one or not? Not sure to be honest.

That is correct. There was compressed thermite in the bore. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the construction of this projectile and I can't find anything about it.

Here some cut away and colour.

Not this one Antoon.
The shell is fitted with fuze adapter and no head screwed (that's the problem).

Hello Antoon, the Brandsprenggranate has such incendiary rings.

As for paint schedule from the factory, no idea.

They also made a 10,5cm sprgr. like this, didn’t they call these specific ones with thermite segments Minengranate (Br. Spr.) or something?

In attachment, sectioned conventional 8,8cm Br. Schr. (See red X marking on photo) and the other one, namely the one discussed in this thread (see green check mark)
