It’s a Siemens & Halske A.G., Siemenstadt Berlin or S&H. These are relatively scarce.

Would want to see better hi res images as I would not buy it based on these.

Thank you Andy for the information, so this must be a early M16 shell after the square dipp?, I will Ask the seller for better pictures. But I think the shell is okay.

I haven’t read if the design was based on the square dip but it looks to have been manufactured quite early on. As the war progressed S&H shells lost the steep drop between the front visor and rear skirt to the side. The transition became much more gentle.

S&H only made these shells in size 60, so that by itself makes this shell a little rarer.

Still not a real fan of the paint, but let’s see what some better photos bring.
