Unknown 154 x 113 German (?) Case

Hi. Can any one please help with the identification of this case.

154 x 113 mm. I am assuming that it is German. It looks like a type of Howitzer.


Head stamp : GFSP 170

DEBR 1914

Sp4

Hi,

The GFSP stands for 'Geschossfabrik Spandau' , so indeed German.

Most likely Caliber (seen your measurements) is the 155x113R for the 15cm sFH 13 (15 cm schwere Feldhaubitze 13)
