Managed to add four nice German lead-coated ('bleimantel') shells to the collection from approx. 1870.

from left to right: very heavy 21 cm (with base plug and dummy fuze), 12 cm, 9 cm (with dummy fuze) and 7.5 cm.

Added another lead-coated shell to the collection. According to the seller this 6,5 cm is of Belgian origin but I
can not find any info on the internet. Not sure whether the fuze is original. Looks a bit too short. Anyone has
some idea and/or drawings of this shell and fuze?
