    A fantastic condition steel casing with amazing original WW2 German  base markings! made in 1944 by Waffenwerke Bruenn, Bystrica, Czechoslovakia (code DOU ) with marking for both Flak 18 use and Kriegsmarine use as 8,8 30 St. Has been reloaded once as per the punch mark to base and recoated with a grey surface covering by the Finish forces post WW2.

    I have seen examples of these cases with the grey coating removed - underneath can be the original German brass wash remaining!

    Finland bought 90 8.8 cm Flak 37 cannons from Germany and they were used for air defence of largest cities in Finland. These cannons played an important role against Soviet air raids in Helsinki in February 1944. After the war these cannons remained in Finnish use as AA-guns until 1977 and after that as coastal guns until the early 2000s. The gun had nickname Rämäpää ("Reckless") after the manufacturer's initials RMB. Several of the Finnish guns survive in museums and as memorials.
