On the base is a steel disc riveted on, forming part of the carrier. On top of this base disc is a metal fuse protecting spacer which is stamped on both ends F.H.Gr (Feldhaubitze Granate ‘Field Howitzer Shell’). The bottom part of this spacer has faded yellow paint on it. Price includes UK delivery. Sn 12693
