That is a beautiful 88mm shell. I have never seen one so well marked, and it is also the first 88mm I have seen with KPS driving bands. It would go well with my brass 1936 dated case.

Does the base plug unscrew? Does anyone know how hard it is to unscrew the base plug or if they are right or left hand thread?

If the base cap unscrewing.
When not been removed they can never be difficult to unscrew, but if they are not oxidized relatively easily unscrewed ...
its thread is clockwise.
