WW1 German 155mm case ID?

[HoldThePickle24]

Hi gang, any thoughts on what this case might be? A buddy recently picked it up. About 211mm tall and 158ish at the mouth. Is it a cut down 15cm case?? The rim is thinner and squared (not rounded) compared to a 15cm K16 case. Your thoughts?

Hi,

you are not the first person asking for this case here. I already answered the same question her: https://www.bocn.co.uk/threads/15cm-unknown-cartridge-case.103152/#post-316124

For whatever reason these German made cases had primer holes for Russian primers. Your case has an steel adapter to fit a standard German Schlagzündschraube 14.

@Alpini Interesting! So a German-made case for a capture Russian howitzer? I’m so glad I joined this forum. I’ve gotten several tough/specific questions answered rather quickly. Thanks for the information.

Yes, in both World Wars a lot of different cases and shells were made for foreign guns in Germany.

Couldn't it be a case made for the 15cm M14 Skoda howitzer?
