Does this look original? Also anybody know what they go for now? Thanks in advance.

Just found out it is all original, but not for Flak, so I don't need it, it goes for the gun on the Tiger 11.

If 42 is the date, I don't think it is for a Tiger II.

Case and projectile are mismatched : the case is for an 88mm FlaK 18 or PaK/KwK 36 (eg Tiger 1 etc ) and the projectile is for the later Pak/KwK 43 ( eg Tiger II ). The correct projectile for the case would have narrower driving bands, the correct case for the projectile would be much larger with pronounced 'necking'.

Both are nice items.

It looks more like an Tiger I round than a Tiger II round

At any rate a Tiger shell is a splendid item to own :-)

@ Martin, sounds like you are right, I think I translated his quote wrong, the first time,
Hülse und Granate Original, die Granate ist aber für die KwK43 nicht für die Flak.....the shell & grenade are real, the grenade is for the KwK43 not for the Flak. The first time I took original as in together, but now I see, the grenade is for the Kwk43, as in the gun for the Tiger 11. Thanks, in any case I could use something smaller like a 20mm flak for a HJ collection. thanks for your help.
