Hi,
New item in my collection. I'll found a box with 10 cartridges, made by Eisfeld. Nothing special do you think, but in the box there are double star cartridges ( green -red ). In the books, I'll never see a cartridges like this before. The double star cartridges in the books are with a case of 83 mm ( just to 1916 ). After 1916 the Germans used cases of 133 mm. This cartridges are made in 1916 or later. They have a iron bottom. The box and cartridges are not in good condition, but I'am happy that I have them in my collection.
Best regards
