Found these two 8,8 L/45 patrone with Kpz, Doppl Z /26. Both cartridges are complete stamped with Kr mark and dated 1917. It's a long time ago that i seen these in this state. The cartridge cases are stamped, both with X-1917. Even the tar like sealing of the case/projectile is there.

Thanks Kev. Yes, I rarely have seen them in a collection, and up to now never found one on a fair or trade, and now a original pair of 2. Since i collect both German Navy and FLAK, this a good hit.

Congratulations! Beautiful condition and rare birds :tinysmile_twink_t: ... and as a sidenote, what's the brass behemoth lurking in the backround? :wink:

 

[thekees]

Manlicher,

the big brass is an 30,5 cm L/45 case. This is a rare one, made in 1926 by Polte for the German Navy.

 

[Mannlicher]

Thanks thekees. Maybe you could put a picture with the whole shell, with the 88's for size. :tinysmile_classes_t

Hellp TheKees,

do the fuzes have stamped Dopp.Z.S/26 on their caps?

 

[thekees]

Alpini,

Yes they have, added with O Az. the upper part is made out of steel.

 

[Alpini]

oh, great with correct Flak fuze - would it be possible to post some photos of the fuze? Especially a view of the base of the fuze would be very nice.

 

[thekees]

Alpini, will try this in the weekend, by daylight.

Hello,

I am also very interested by pictures of the fuze.

Regards.
