Im very happy with some items i bought from my main man Bernhard this week :)
Included in the deal was this steel case.
German Kwk 7.5cm.

Even better news is that ive located a projectile from a very good pal of mine,so i can complete the round.

cheers

Very nice looking case Waff. I noticed that this one didn't hang around long in the Classified section.

On the left, the headstamp mark should be the manufactures stamp.

What type of projectile have you found? Not that I'm jealous but I have had an empty KwK case for about 2 years :sad:.
 
Cheers SG!

Right place,right time and a phone call to Mick. :)
I think he has the HE proj? Im hopefully going to see the man tomorrow so i shall confirm and post pics.
Cheers for the stamp info. :)
best

It looks like "ya" for Saechsische Metallwarenfabrik, August Wellner u. Sohn, Aue, Saxony.

You can see this stamp on my case.
