[klarkon]

How is long ???

[klarkon]

harrison987 - Have you some pics of marking and bottom of this shell case ?

[harrison987]

50cm long approx.

[klarkon]

This is NOT WW.II german shell case, WW.2 german cases were marked in cm............7,62 cm, 8,8cm etc.etc.

I agree, it doesn't look like a German stamp.

Yes, I think it`s fake too. Germany did not have marking in 'mm' and type of gun (only Pak, Flak, Kwk)

[klarkon]

harrison987 - If your shell case has dimension = 76.2 x 590mm with 111mm rim, then it is cartridge for naval gun, for example used in St Laurent and Annapolis classes 1955-1990s - used by the Royal Canadian Navy .

Never said it is a fake but just not german production...

Well this is odd...

Thought it was one of the Russian ones that was not converted to pak40 casing...

Mmmmm...

It is only around 500mm long

This shell case can not be Russian made - in Russian alphabet ( АЗБУКА ) is letter in makers logo "S" like "C", letter "H" like " Г ", "L" like "Л".

In russian alphabet would have to be headstamp on the bottom : " 76,2мм Л/48 , Л/50 " ГС
