Id. heavy artillery ammunition

Hi all,

I think shells for the 15cm SK C28 gun. Is this correct?

Hello All

Any idea on the caliber of these rounds on this blurry picture ??

@Sturm: your last picture: german navy 15 cm practice shells, most likely 15 cm Üb.Granate L/4.1 Kz, fitted with a E.Kzdr.f. Spgr.
Normal HE shells would have been yellow, practiceshells were red.

@Jos: really difficult to say, but i'd say: 38 or 40,6 cm HE.
You can see the white ring indicating the centre of gravity (only used on shell 20,3 cm and bigger), the light colour of the paint can only mean that these were HE (APHE was blue, Practice red, Flares were green, but those were only made for max 20,3 cm.
There's all a white arrow visible at the tip, indicating the position of the fuze, unfortunately we can't see if the arrow pointed up or down, that would give more info about the exact type.

@Sturm: these are containers for the 21 cm Mrs. 18 shellcase plus charges.
The containers for Sonderkartusche nr. 6 were longer.
