WW1 Era 7.7cm shell casing


Recommended Posts

Here is the WW1 7.7cm, which was a rapid fire field gun similar the French "75". The German forces valued the mobility of these guns during advances, however when the front lines were stabilized these guns were not very effective. Interestingly enough these guns were used in some fashion or another up till 1945. 

The St mark at the top stood for strengthened case.
