This shell has a solid head and a screwed-in base, the latter having two spanner not-ches. The base is streamlined.

The explodering arrangements consists of a gaine in the form of two superimposed cylin-ders. The upper and larger end screws directly into the fuze hole of the shell and inside it fits cylindrical lower end of the fuze. The exploder container fits into the lower cylinder. The exploder is identical with that used in the 10.5 cm shells.

The shell is varnished inside and the filling, probably T.N.T. comes up to the level of the lower edge of the gaine. In certaim samples recovered the filling is done in loose cartrid-ges with cardboard wrapping.
