    Don't think so, this cartridge is for artillery not FLAK.
    The FLAK M36 7,5 CM cartridges are longer.

    my that 44 Kalendar looks very good and familiar, I had one at a time some years long ago, it was borrowed and I moved so happy greets to that bum who never returned it to me. Great collection of shell casings Nick, I see you have enough to start up a nice museum

    great colectable Nick! Does anyone know the story of the KG Staffelkäptan mentionned on the first page? = Hauptmann Roll Kückens (the Christian cross could mean he was deceased in 1944)

    Actually it's Rolf Kückens , not Roll. Apparently he already took care of the calendar in 1940.

    Deutscher luftwaffenkalender.


    Nice amno by the way , the copper is shining as if they were new

    Though I do not have any pictures of it yet but, just yesterday, I scored a nice Close Combat Clasp in Silver from a good friend and fellow collector.

    That is a nice one. I have a (flower) wheat bag which is made with the same material but in white. Actually I should say part of a wheat bag, because the collector who gave it to me kept the parts with the inscription only.
