3.7 cm. Flak 18

[johnbhm]

My son gave me this a couple of years ago and I put it on the shelf with my smaller ordinance. I took it down last week and started to try and research exactly what it is. I can't get the projectile out at this point. The crimp only lets it move about 2 or 3 mm. and I don't want to do any more damage to it. My focus has always been German issued pistols and don't have any books or knowledge of any of the larger pieces. Thanks for any help as I seem to be just going in circles now. John.
