Are you sure that the cases are 155? would it be possibel that the caliber is 15 cm? have you find a date on the wooden box? Ben

 

[Dave83]

yes fjordhouse you are right its for the 15 cm fieldgun it was a writting mistake in the previous post !

No there are no markings on the box even the packing sticker is not there !!

But these are the short cases for the 15 cm howitzer. I've never seen a box like this; I only know wicker baskets for the 15 cm cases during WW1 and before. Could it be Reichswehr maybe?

 

[Dave83]

there are some stamps on the box too !!

Dear der Feldgraue there are some stamps on the box too one is 1917 the others i dont remember i will post it later !!
i have seen a nearly equal box for the 21 cm Mortar too on some pictures when i find it i will post the pic !!

Thanks best regards David

Hi Dave,

ok, would be interesting to see the pics, because I only know about the wicker baskets. So another item to look at
