Can anyone help? 12 cm Schneider case?

[turpin42]

Hi
Amazing what people throw out...:tinysmile_eyebrow_t
Received this last night. After some surfing the nett and asking around, came up with 12 cm Schneider? Is that right? Case mouth around 12 cm, case height is 68.5 cm. Still has traces of black stamp's om the base of the case. 1943 date so it was made in Norway under the German occupation.
Does anyone one have pictures of the projectile?
Thanks for any help!

All the best

What is the rim diameter? I know of Norwegian 120x663 (M1897 L/44) 120x700 (M1903 L/40) or the Dutch 120x681 (but a 1943 produced case for The Netherlands does not make sense, unless it is for the Dutch Indies). Details of the primer might help.

Hi Hoeksel
Thanks for the reply.
The diameter of the base is 15,4cm. The primer is marked RA 1941...

Is the case not 663 mm long? Then it would be the M1897, there are also UK cases with 12 cm and 154 mm but this case is not English.

Hi Hoeksel
Just measured again and you are quite right, it's 663 mm high.
Thanks again.

So this is clarified. Nice case! Hope to find one at some time for my collection.

Thank you Hoeksel
