i have thought of these as 12cm shell but when I got in my hands i figured out it is 15cm.

i am familiar with italian model in 75, 87 and 120mm caliber and also with german 12cm which are fitted with 4 rotating bands as this one.

a do not have any knowledge of 15cm constructed with 2 double rotating bands but doing some background research i figured out it might be M1910 15cm howitzer shell from serbian army or M14 schwere feldhoubitze shell.

any one with more knowledge on these?

Hi
I don't know serbian shells, but I think this is very similar to austrian 15cm M78 shell

best regards
 
I agree with fert. Pictures of the fuze hole and markings (if there are any) would help a lot...
