WW1 German 7.5cm GEB K15 Mountain Gun Shrapnel Round

Offered for sale here is a rare WW1 German 7,5cm Gebirgs Kanone 15 (7.5cm Mountain Gun, Model 1915) shrapnel round. Brass case measures 75x129R and is late war, occupied Belgian-made with headstamps 'FN 19 Hl27 MAI 1918'. The case has no crimp marks so is correct for the projectile which has no cannelure. The unfired steel projectile has no pitting and some faint letter and number stamps. The fuze is the correct time & percussion type and is made of brass and Zamak. It does partly unscrew and has inert internals. The base closing plate easily unscrews. I've not tried to remove the two brass timing rings. Zamak can become brittle with age and the fuze cap broke into three segments when I first unscrewed it. This was easily repairable with grey epoxy and still screws on/off the fuze body finger tight but I'm not forcing it. The cap is stamped 'Geb'. The pusher plate and an empty black powder ejection cup remain in the projectile. All parts fit together as shown in the images. This is a nice, rare round.

Condition as per the images. P&P by courier to a Mainland UK postcode address will be £10.00.

NOTE: P&P by courier insured for £50 to a Mainland UK postcode address will be £10.00. Contact me for courier price if you want the parcel insured for the full amount.
