Thanks Tony--Your chart probably answered the question. Mine is closest to the measurements of the Light Field Canon 1896- altar art. Regards, .Randolpho

thanks sammler freund - I never saw a shell case from Afrika before ---much less one cut to resemble an
African mask with an unprofessional looking inscription ---done after the battle with time to kill ???? It took quite a while to Id the town and the reason for the battle ---- the Germans headed for Portuguese East Africa to escape the British ....AHZ Randolpho
