Patrick, I think these were used on German Submarines, some of larger the U-Boats had 10.5cm Deck cannons......BILLOriginally posted by PatrickHello Bill,

Bill,
That is really neat! Is there some sort of packing within the container to keep the shell secured? The container is beat up and yet the shell is in super condition.

container
The inside of the container is lined with some type of packing like a cushon and a well protected area for the head and fuze, the rear of the case has a cardboard cover.. The inside of the canister is mint and has some type of light grease..BILLOriginally posted by Chet SowersbyComment

Always a nice sight...
It's a 10,5 cm Spgr. Patr. 32 L/4,4 for the 10,5 cm SK.C. 32.
Like i said. it was mostly used in the 10,5 cm Schnelladekanone C/32 in 8,8 cm Marine Pivotlafette C/30D, which was an antiaircraftgun for both land and sea.
But this ammunition was also used in the 10,5 cm Ubts u. Tbts Flak L45, which were mounted on U-boats and Torpedoboten.
Other guns: 10,5 cm SK.L./45 and 10,5 cm Flak L/45
Paint and markings on both shell and case are post-war Norwegian.
But it's still a cool piece.

Nice complete round.
The SKC\32 was used on all sorts of ships as well as coastal artillery, including one of the batteries up where i live. Various types of torpedo boat and minesweepers had this model of gun.
It's also worth remembering that many coastal artillery batteries were kept in use after the war, especially in Norway, so there was and is a fair amount of this type of ammo around....not that it comes up for sale often of course.Collecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.Comment
