What type of german Kanon has this part belonged in the past? Flak?

Fl code is the kind you find on Luftwaffe items but the WaA is Wehrmacht... Perhaps if you measure the rounded part of the inner, you might get a clue to what gun it belonged to by comparing the dimensions of the cases used.

me6_130 - wrong guess - according to the inscription it is a clear vertical breech block............. not horizontal.

Is it breech block of 5cm KwK........ " 5 cm Kwk Verschlußkeil "

[me6_130]

As Kwk's igniting system were electrical...and this one looked mechanical to me... I had discarded them. I'll have to study a bit more Well, I wasn't so far, 5cm ammo.
