Three ww1 pieces: 15cm, 85mm, 75mm

[screensize]

Hello everyone,
a friend of mine has these, but as he does not use the WWW due to his age, I offered to post pictures and find out some info.

15 cm: empty, 50 cm height, around 30 kilo weight, German Doppelzünder

85mm: maybe french?

75mm: empty, strange fuze

Thank you for any info,
Chris

85mm is most likely british (marked 18 PR ?)
75mm is probably a french shrapnel (Mod 1897 ?) with a beehive fuze type 24/31 Model 1915, 16 or 18

Cheers,

S.

Could it be the time fuze 22/31 ?

The 15 cm is most probably a 15 c Gr.14A (grey cast iron) or less probable a 15 cm Gr.14 (cast steel). The fuze isn't the right one for this shell and it makes no sense to place it in the case (it was separate loaded)

Wanted to say the same. On shrapnels 22-31 size was used.

Factory stamp "R" on the 15 cm is probably the Völklinger Hütte "Röchling"
