Gildwiller1918 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Here is a WW1 era shell casing for the 15 cm/45 (5.9") SK L/45 naval gun. These casings weighed 22.6 kilos filled and the shell itself weighed 45.3 kilos. I got this shell casing from a museum that was clearing out some of their inventory. These naval guns were a secondary armament on battleships and battlecruisers as well as on most cruisers, however towards the latter half of the war, a lot of these were removed to be used on land. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
