Just paid for this today so should be here sometime next week. Not a bad buy for £111 posted.

Very nice. Decent condition steel cases are getting harder to come by.

Bottom is messy but the rest is pretty nice.

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?

Ive seen that punch mark on a few cases thinking about it. Will chase that up. Good question.

Mine came as well, seems that the one you used as a photo was in fact mine, case and proj and fuse.

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.
