WW2 German Kriegsmarine 10.5cm SK C/32 – NAVAL CANNON ARMOR PIERCING ROUND – SHIPS & U-BOATS – VERY RARE!

Description

You are bidding on a NICE relic example of a WW2 German Kriegsmarine 10.5cm SK C/32 Naval Cannon AP Round! This was used on many Surface Ships, U-Boats, and for Coastal Defence!

The 10.5 cm SK C/32 (Schiffskanone, Construktionsjahr 32), was a widely used German naval gun on a variety of Kriegsmarine ships during WW2. Originally designed as a surface weapon, it was used in a number of other roles such as anti-aircraft and coastal defence;  as well as wet-mounts were developed for U-boats.

Used on the Type 35 & Type 37 Torpedo Boats; Type 35 & Type 43 Minesweepers; the Cruiser Emden; the Battleships Schlesien & Schleswig-Holstein; and type I, Type IX, and Type X U-Boats!

Made of solid steel this item is in EXCELLENT relic condition! Though this was a water-find, the steel AP Round itself is VERY solid, with only minor pitting. Some markings are also faintly legible. The casing, being solid steel, unfortunately did suffer from being in the water, and has a lot of pitting as you can see in the photos. Some obvious marks and scratches, but it still retains much of the original base stamps. Features a clear “10.5cm  32 33”; a production date of 1944; and a KM Adler Inspection Stamp. I have shown the type of gun it was used in, in the last photos.  Would make an EXCELLENT addition to any collection or display!
