The 21 centimeter shell had the letters G-Z and a letter on the base of the fuze that was unrecognizable. There was a booster that contained 18 grams of picric acid. Following the booster was a long central burster made of steel that contained TNT. This projectile had a cement seal below the booster and another one at the base of the burster tube. This projectile had one driving band. The drawing shows the rotating band engraved; however, it could not be verified whether the engraving on the rotating band was factory made.
