[vickers]

Hi, who can help me with this case? They pop up sometimes in this lenght. Maybe kustenhaubitze 28 cm?
there’s not much to find on this... thanks in advance.

It's a cut down 28 cm C/95 case (280x1221R320,2) I think for 28 cm S.K. L/40 and maybe longer guns.

I read about a 28 cm kustenhaubitze, what would the dimensions be for this one?

 

[Alpini]

are you talking about the Krupp 28-cm-Haubitze L/12?

 

[vickers]

Maybe, I don’t know for shure

Hello

You show 317mm for the Bottom diameter. But the naval 28cm C/95 has 320mm. Who can explain ?

28 cm Kst. H. is 283x377R314 but this is a WW1 case.
28 cm S.K. L/40 C/95 is 297x1221R320.

I agree with Alpini that I expect it to be a cut down 28 cm C/95.

Yes it is a C/95 karth , But on his photo we see 315 mm and not 320 mm why this difference ?

Bad measuring tool.

Yes, and the ruler lying on the base did not cross the center of the case (see primer hole). And also the rim of the base has a small radius instead of a sharp edge.

Best practice is to use a caliper.
