Steve T Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Very nice. Decent condition steel cases are getting harder to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PmMeYourCats Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Seller sent the better of the two instead so the markings are actually pretty mint, just a few rust nips on the rim. Shell and case are both 42 dated and the case has a slight orange tinge to it which is most likely rust or possibly a copper or brass finish? Also it has a punch mark on the base of the case. Think I heard somewhere that this could mean it was fired once then reused or am I just blowing smoke? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Waffenamt Posted August 3, 2016 Major General Share Posted August 3, 2016 Ive seen that punch mark on a few cases thinking about it. Will chase that up. Good question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Mine came as well, seems that the one you used as a photo was in fact mine, case and proj and fuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PmMeYourCats Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Photos of it finally. German WW1 77mm and a 7.92 round for scale. Was rather surprised with the size as I'd never seen one before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
