Hey everyone, picked this up from a dealer here in Wisconsin. A steel case Flak 41 HE. If my research is correct on this gun, it is one of the few German guns that almost exclusively used brass cases as the steel tended to jam. I will kneel to the experts on this however. It is rather pitted but never the less it is original. And a nice addition to my German artillery.

Follow up to post, I know it has the wrong fuze on it but it will do until I can find an AZ23/28. It has the AZ 23 on it right now.

Condition looks really good, especially the projectile.

The steel case is very rare so very nice find.
Can you send a picture of the headstamp to show the markings please.

Thanks
