Product Description
A superb original Imperial German First World War brass artillery cartridge case, clearly dated November 1917, offering an authentic piece of Great War battlefield history. This impressive case retains crisp original base markings including St, 281, 1917, NOV, 67% Cu, and the desirable HL / 31 contractor or maker mark.
Manufactured during the height of the First World War, this case was produced for the German Army using wartime brass alloy marked 67% copper, a fascinating detail reflecting the material controls and industrial production methods of the period. Cases of this type were used with German field artillery and quick-firing guns on the Western Front, where artillery dominated trench warfare.
Its tall straight-sided profile and polished brass finish make it an outstanding display piece for collectors of German militaria, WW1 ordnance, battlefield relics, and military antiques. The dated headstamp adds strong historical appeal, placing its manufacture in the final full year of the war.
A striking and substantial original relic ideal for display in a study, office, museum collection, or militaria cabinet. Increasingly difficult to source with clear dated markings and attractive presentation.
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related marks, service wear, and later polishing.
Inert empty brass case for display only.
